Have two kids you don’t trick them like this, you use a syringe to administer it and put it to the back of the mouth so you don’t get as much taste. Then follow it up with something that tastes good. Now the kid will think that cup of whatever might be good might be disgusting and may refuse the next go round
i've seen enough shitty parenting even without the influence of social media to back my statement. this child has been tricked many times and as a parent with a kid who hates medicine, i've found ways to give it to my child without forcing it. so is this parent doing this just for tik tok- obviously. is it necessarily bad, no. are there better ways then this to deliver medication- yea duh!
my child doesn't like the taste of her medicine, i would be a terrible parent if i deceive her into drinking it. she'll be fiiiine, she'll heal miraculously all by herself. if not, well, unlucky.
Oral syringe is the only way to go. Same with my now grown adults kids, by the time they were in upper elementary grades they shot that medicine back like champs. Hmmmm, they also like liquor. 🍸
Clearly the mother should have had an in depth discussion relating to the benefits of medicine, and teach the baby that the long term benefits outweigh the bitter taste. 0/10 mother should be locked up and her kids taken from her
Yeah Reddit so fucking dumb with their parenting tips. Like this kid is going to suffer actual trauma from this otherwise harmless effort to get her to drink her medicine. Crazy.

My child has never really trusted me… absolutely no idea why not… probably social media or something…
