Thanks for your advice - all of you.

DH went out for xmas drinks tonight, so i was left with the 'medicine ordeal'. It took 20 mins, and rather than promise her chocolate, or an iceblock, i said i would read her lots of books. Her eyes seemed to light up and after 20 mins, she took it in her hand, and slowly sipped it out of the syringe (i thought i was going to wet myself). I nearly jumped on her when i saw the syringe empty. Bed time was a bit later tonight, due to the book reading marathon, but i think it had to do with DH not being there ("if i dont take this medicine, who will i turn to for a cuddle" kind of thing) and i think the book promise worked.

Just out of interest SherieB, why no supositries (sp?). The whole notion afterwards made me feel ill, i would be interested in your thoughts.
