Does anyone else’s baby not take medicine or vitamins at all.
Whether it’s a syringe or spoon or the teat from a bottle he just refuses. Even when he is asleep he won’t take it. He loses his shit every time and spits it all out.
ATM he doesn’t need medicine but he won’t take his vitamins. Also if he needs medicine in the future I need to be able to give it to him.
Any advice other than what I have mentioned already?

Sometimes adding a little juice to it helps for us but it’s almost always a real struggle and she’s pretty good at spitting it out now
Mine doesn’t take any and won’t be, refuses syringe when she does need Calpol so I started trying trying with different spoons and some she will accept some she refuses, I’ve had to give up sometimes because she will also spit it out
I had to pretend antibiotics was special yoghurt this week by putting it onto an empty yogurt tub and spoon feeding it
We use the nature & nurture vitamins and just pop it in her morning milk as she always finishes that so we know she’ll get the full dose.
No advice on medicine unfortunately sorry!
I have vitamin drops health visitor recommended putting the in her juice and it works perfectly x
