A great tip!

[Mom to Brandon and 2 cats]

My aunt gave me this great tip - when you need to give baby medicine via medicine dropper, blow on the baby's face after giving the medicine. They get distracted by the air, and swallow the medicine instead of spitting it out!

genius!

Cool, I never thought of that for babies! I vet taught us to do that with our cats when we had to give them pills. Blowing on their faces makes them lick their noses, thus swallowing the pills. Genious!
