Ok, if your little one is anything like mine, it is ten nightmares to try to get any sort of medicine down their throat. I end up having DH dump it in while we hug him tightly and massage his throat in hopes that he swallows it rather than spitting it out into our faces. So, as we will soon be traveling, I was dreading trying to give him some liquid decongestant in the airport.
Imagine how thrilled I was to see in my grocery store the Triaminic Thin Strips
I was going to write about toddler-proofing for visiting houses over the holiday, as I need to make a list for some of my relatives who aren’t used to having a toddler destroying bringing joy to their house this holiday season – however, I’m still busy packaging/printing/sending out design orders. Perhaps you can help me out a bit tho, if you have any tips for me to send to my relatives (and eventually create into a blog post, linking to you, my beloved reader ) please leave them in comments for me. Thank you!

Every time you turn around, there are new inventions to make mom’s life easier. These are great–wish they’d been around when mine were little. Here’s another trick to try when your son is older and may have to take yukky medicine that doesn’t come in a strip. Try the “rinse and spit” method. Have a glass of cold water ready. Tell the little guy to swallow his medicine fast, and then quickly rinse and spit! It will take the yucky taste out of his mouth so fast, he’ll hardly notice it!
