I've had to do a quick syringe into the mouth while pinning the baby's arms down, its not pleasant.
. Just expel it into the cheek, or to the side, not the back of the throat and have a bottle or soother ready to 'plug' in so they forget to spit it back out.
If you are on your own, then a secure swaddle in a towel trapping their arms down will help prevent them from wiggling around on you and keep your hands free to give the medicine.
And lots of cuddles afterwards.0 -

Wow I have been lucky - my little one loves all forms of medicine - antibiotics, calpol etc - always asks for more and is upset when the prescription is over!!!
I have one of those too
If I have to give her medicine she gets all excited. I though it would change as she got older, but at 3 years of age she still loves it. Let's hope it stays that way. 0 -

Funny as in 'Haha look at my little zonked baby' or funny as in weird?
I'd be charitable and attribute it to the coping mechanism of a worried parent trying to take their mind off their kid getting an operation, but if they were just pisstaking I'd judge them a bit.

I think its a coping mechanism alright. ..its definitely not a pee take or poking fun at the kid. But it just seems a bit personal.0 -

That's exactly my thinking. A different friend on fb put a post up of her partner post op last year that I though was equally disturbing. ..but at least he could take it up with her if he didn't like it.
Im friends with strange people it seems

I took a postoperative picture of my husband last year. He was in one of those awful hospital gowns with no back so you could see his jocks (lol)... I wouldn't put it up on Facebook tho... I just keep it to bribe him if I need anything....

I have a pic of my husband's face just after surgery to get his wisdom teeth out. It's hilarious - his face is so swollen he looks like a morbidly obese version of himself! I'd also never put it on fb but it's great to have 0

Every flipping hour we're awake here
An hour seems blissful after the tag teaming teething duo I had here last night: both in my bed since 12, both with neurofen and Calgel: no sooner had I one asleep than the other one woke. And the two year old kept hitting me in the head with the tv remote wanting cartoons. So glad it's morning0 -

That's more than my almost 26mths old has, he only has 12 and the 12th is a very recent addition. Be glad you're getting it over it
I agree! Both mine had a mouth full of delph by the time they were one and it was great to be over it so quickly. I heard somewhere before (can't remember if it was a reliable source or not lol) that teething gels can harden the gums and make the process go on longer than necessary. Don't know how true it is now but I used teetha sachets just to be on the safe side lol0 -

Smyths are the absolute worst and they don't give a toss about losing business because outside of Dublin, they practically have the monopoly on toy shopping in Ireland :mad:
A few years back, I was secretary of our sports and social club at work. We had always had an agreement in place with Smyths that we would buy all of the presents for our kids Christmas party (spending between 4-5 grand every year depending on numbers) from them and in return, they would give us a small discount of 5% and allow us to pay buy cheque. I think it was a standard agreement that they had with a lot of companies who shopped there. Anyways, this year we rang them in advance to let them know we were coming and a gang of us arrived out and filled all of our trolleys as per usual. We went to the checkout and told the girl we what company we were with etc, she scanned everything through and when we gave her the cheque and she went to get the manager to clear it, he came out and told us in no uncertain terms that they were no longer giving the discount and that they wouldn't accept the cheque :mad: Having gotten no prior warning of this and having spent the bones of 3 hours in the shop we were seriously unimpressed. He (a young fella in a cheap suit with a horrible attitude) was refusing point blank to entertain us.
Eventually, after half an hour of arguing and threatening to leave the shop and abandon the 30 trolleys of stuff that had already been scanned (he threatened to ring the guards if we did that, whatever they were going to do about it :pac:), he finally agreed to accept the cheque but still wouldn't give the discount. We paid and left him with the parting message that we wouldn't be shopping there next year and his a response was to laugh at us and say "Well good luck finding somewhere else that stocks the same range of products".
We have shopped in Argos every year since
I wrote a stinking complaint letter to them and got a standard f off "Sorry but we no longer give the company discount and we were never obliged to take cheques" reply. We wouldn't have minded half as much if they had let us know in advance but to allow us turn up and fill the trolleys and then get treated like criminals by a jumped up little shít of a manager, it was dreadful of them :mad:0 -

This does not surprise me in the least. Absolute Jerks! How can morale be so low in a toy shop of all places...0 -
