Applesauce never worked for us. Yogurt worked but then she caught on. She is horrible with medicine and if its antibiotics i need to make sure she takes it the pediatrician said to try a spoonful of chocolate syrup But i thought that was a little sweet for her so i used chocolate pudding. That worked but she recently caught on.

we went through a terrible faze with DD spitting out medicine. Ped told me to squeeze her cheeks because it makes them swallow and its harder for them to move their tongue in this position. Also, put the medicine dropper towards the back and squirt it to the inside of her cheek... keeping it away from the tongue.GL!
