Tips on how to give 8 week old some medication?

Hey guys,

My little one has been prescribed Losec for reflux. It has come in a liquid preparation form but tastes absolutely DISGUSTING and my baby is really having a horrible time getting it down - and I don't blame her. I am in tears every time I have to give it to her and not because she cries but the look on her little face as if to say "why are you making me take this mummy". It's killing me.

Anyone have any tips? The pharmacist says that it's ok to mix it in a little EBM so will try that tonight but just wondered if anyone has been in this position and how you coped?

Thanks
Sue
