    I squirted it down the side of DD's cheek as kim suggested. We had to administer losec and it was a case of DP holding her while I squirted it in or we'd have to torture her longer than we had to. She got over it after about a week because I think she realised it was really helping her. I'd dread the time of night approaching though! It's not easy to hear them cry but it's really helping your DD. A mate's daughter ended up with stomach ulcers because the stupid Paed kept stuffing up her dosage HTH

    It is hard, in time she will get better at it, DD2 is on Losec (which is like eating sand) which was a nightmare to adminster and TBH who would want to "drink" sandy water but I have been getting it as a compounded version which is flavoured like banana, Gaviscon which really doesn't have a taste and Coloxyl (for constipation) which tastes like chocoloate!

    But I have found that using a Neurofen syringe works best for administering her meds, she now opens her mouth for it and sucks it all down
