Make a smoothie or a milk shake. Take either breast milk, formula or rice milk and then add the vitamins or medicine and shake. If you want a smoothie-then add ice cubes or frozen fruit and blend till desired smoothy texture. Max loves his vitamins but I figured I would experiment and give him a milk shake. He loved it. He just learned how to suck from a straw so a smoothie is next.
I thought of this because he has been taking chinese herbs for his ear aches. In chinese medicine, it is believed that ear aches are damp heat. So if you get the heat out then there will be no ear ache. Very interesting. Even though Max has no ear ache to the common Western doctor, I know that he has some fluid because he will wake up every 3 hours. If he takes his herbs, then he sleeps for at least 8 or 9 hours. Now he will not have to take the herbs forever but just for now-to clear up the damp heat and the fluid. Why do some kids and adults have damp heat? Who knows..hereditary??
