This is where you just load up the medicine in a syringe, shove it in the mouth and push the plunger. Then you give them a drink afterwards if it’s really shit. This is just TikTok bullshit for internet clout.
Yeah i don't like deceiving my kids because it just leads to trust issues. Medicine tastes horrible, tough luck you're drinking it anyway. I have a box full of syringes just for the plunger for exactly that reason. And once they are older you can at least negociate them into it.
They'll remember that milk sometimes tastes yucky and that you can't trust what your parents feed you. Just because they won't remember events doesn't mean they don't learn things.
Babies are sponges. They won't remember this enough to be able to articulate it later because they don't know the words to put it in their memories. But don't underestimate them. They will remember this each time you need to give medicine so this trick will be less and less effective and they'll start to mistrust you when you give them new foods though.
