• We have a hard time getting our children to take oral medications.  Two of our kids are especially sensitive to taste and texture.  Here are some ideas I have tried in the past to get them to take their medicine.  Our pharmacist was impressed by one and was going to recommend it to her other customers. LOL
  
  Mix with 1 to 2 ML of juice, koolaid, etc.
  
  Mix with ice cream or yogurt.
  
  Mix with chocolate, strawberry, or caramel syrup.
  
  Mix with Jell-O, pudding, or applesauce.

***Please check with your pharmacist first to make sure there will not be any kind of reaction between the medicine and the food item.  We have not run across that problem yet.  If you have any other ideas, please share them with us!

I have found a solution that works (most of the time) when it comes to keeping a pull-up or diaper on my Autistic three-year-old.  If I put on a pair of underwear over his pull-up, he is less likely to pull it off repeatedly.  I don't know if it works because it makes the pull-up/diaper less accessible or because of the added pressure on his body-I just know it works on most days.

If you have a helpful hint to share, please let us know!
