Tricks on getting a toddler to take medicine?
My poor DC is teething terribly and I cannot get him to take any Motrin. Is there a trick that I am missing?

Are you using a medicine dispenser or the little cup that comes with it? We use the dispenser & just squirt it towards his cheek.

Re: Tricks on getting a toddler to take medicine?
When DS was younger we would take 2 syringe's - one filled with the medicine and one was empty. We would wet the empty one a bit with water and then in front of DS dip in the sugar bowl.
We then would put that one in his mouth first, as soon as we put it in and he tasted the sugar we would say open here's more...and squirt the one with the medicine in his mouth toward his cheek.
We would let him taste the sugar first so he realized what we were dipping the syringe in and he would take it.
