ORAFLOW cup to swallow pills

May 10, 2010

HI, we have had this problem for years with my 6 yr old daughter who is

both taste and texture crazy. We have tried all of Dana's mathod, and

though they work for others, the MANY times we have tried-Seh just could

not swallow the supplements and would GAG and throw up right in front of me,

the pills and all her breakfast or lunch she just ate. But NO MORE. last

week we broke down and bought the OROFLOW cup. And overnight she is

swallowing pills and capsules. Halleluia!!!!! It is basically a small

sippy cup like thing, with a wide spout on top, you fill the little cup

1/2 full, snap the top on, and then drop the pill in the top of the sippy

area. They put the entire spout in their mouth tilt there head back and

suck or drink right out of the cup. The trick is to keep them from just

filling their mouth with water and having the pil float in their mouth. So

I just have my daughter suck on it, just like a sippy cup. And 3 in a row

went right down. NOw we have had some floating issues, but after

practice, it went right down again. It was worth every penny--I think

14.95, but got to oraflow.com I think that is it, or do a search....good

luck.
