Guest guest Posted December 9, 2008 Report Share Posted December 9, 2008 I'd practice on something not so expensive and small in size, like folic or vit C. And if it was spit out it wasn't big money down the drain. Just a thought there. I've tried everything and the most success I'm getting is to practice with a tic tac. We are swallowing those but taking much time. My ped recommended like warming up a tootsie roll, making it the size to start and trying that. I've bought a special pill cup, didn't work for him. Tried the drinking water bottle type thing. Take a drink of water from that versus a cup. There is a straw. Others have had success with these items. Each kid is different. There are ways to hide and sprinkle, we don't do that here. We simple use chewable Houston enzymes, pay more too, until successfully swallowing pills. Hopefully we are getting close. My son is 9. You can put in pudding, apple sauce, mix in juice. Not great tasting stuff and my guy fought it all! My nt 6 year old, has been swallowing pills for years. It was just natural for him. My PPD-NOS makes me jump through fire before he does anything, I SWEAR!!!!!
