Feeding medicine and toilet training

[twin dad]

Hi all, do you face problems while feeding medicine to your kids? Well, I do.... My kids (18 mths) simply refused oral medicine..... Had tried all kinds of ways - adding direct to milk, diluting the medicine with water, and even changing of cups to 'confuse' my kids... But the tricks only work for once....

Just like to ask around if any of you had any innovative ways to share with me? Am really running out of ideas liao....

Also any advice on toilet training? No clues on this at all...

Hi,

my baby used to hate medicine too. But sometimes simply have to force it down his throat  for his own good. After that when he got used to it, he was ok with just eating the medicine.
As for toilet training, it took me at least 2 years of running to the toilet once I get any clues of him wanting to poo. I will take off his diapers and put him on the toilet seat.
It takes alot of time and effort. But I think its all worth it in the end

Sleepingfish - yup, got a twin, boy and gal.... Heaven is kind to me..... I'm very grateful...

To all - thanks for the comments. Well, guess my kids are particularly intolerable on medicine... They would just spit everything out even if we force it through.... That's why, it so difficult to administer the medicine.... No choice, have to continue thinking of ways to 'bluff' them...

As for toilet training, still trying to gather some techniques from other parents... Hopefully, my kids could adapt  fast.... Oh yes, any idea where I can get cheap and good potty?
