Hello to all the moms of @Motherhood💕
Cuando nuestros tesoros se enferman, para cada mami es una situación diferente y asà mismo lo abordamos. Cada enfermedad es distinta, cada niño es diferente y según la edad, que se tomen la medicina puede ser una total tragedia. En mi caso particular es muy común que se enfermen ambas al mismo tiempo, ya sea una gripe, fiebre o cualquier malestar yo lo vivo x 2. Es asà que, aunque escucho mucho a mi pediatra, encontré diferentes métodos para hacer esto mas ligero por asà decirlo.
When our treasures fall ill, for each mom it is a different situation and we deal with it the same way. Each disease is different, each child is different and depending on their age, taking medicine can be a total tragedy. In my particular case, it is very common for both of them to get sick at the same time, be it a flu, fever or any other discomfort, I experience it x 2. Thus, although I listen a lot to my pediatrician, I found different methods to make this lighter for so to speak.
Cuando ambas eran mas pequeñas la verdad no se enfermaron tanto, lo mas trágico era el después de las vacunas y apenas por un leve malestar asà que trataba de hacer sus dÃas lo mas normales posibles. Un bebé no entiende nada asà que básicamente lo que hacÃa era sentarlas en mis piernas y usar una inyectadora para darle la dosis correcta poniendo su cabeza hacia atrás hasta que pudiera tragar. No era una tarea tan difÃcil pero con el tiempo si lo fue asà que se fueron sumando las cosquillas y los "paseos" para distraerlas del mal rato de tomar la medicina.
When they were both younger, the truth was they did not get so sick, the most tragic thing was after the vaccines and just because of a slight discomfort so he tried to make his days as normal as possible. A baby doesn't understand anything so basically what he was doing was sitting them on my lap and using an injector to give him the correct dose by putting his head back until he could swallow. It was not such a difficult task but over time it was so tickling and "walks" were added to distract them from the bad time of taking medicine.
Y como cada vez son más conscientes de lo que es tomar la medicina, he podido empezar a usar otros métodos, por ejemplo, antes principalmente usaba la inyectadora y ahora puedo usar las cucharas medidoras que se volvieron sus favoritas, y las tapas de algunos medicamentos que funcionan como taza. Para llegar a este punto he tenido que hablar y repetir una y otra vez para que se deben tomar las medicinas asà que la verdad no es una tarea tan difÃcil usando estas prácticas cucharas.
And as they are more and more aware of what it is to take medicine, I have been able to start using other methods, for example, before I mainly used the injector and now I can use the measuring spoons that are his favorites are back, and the lids of some drugs that work as a cup. To get to this point I have had to talk and repeat over and over again why the medicines should be taken so the truth is not such a difficult task using these practical spoons.
Pero hay casos de casos y me ha tocado rogarles y suplicarles que abran la boquita. Entonces los premios con algún dulce o chucherÃa ha sido de gran ayuda, básicamente se trata de negociar, se toman la medicina y les daré una cosa que ellas quieran y todos ganamos. Esto no aplica para aquellas dosis en la noche asà que esto solo lo aplico durante el dÃa. Para la noche acordamos otras cosas como algún juego, usar la pijama que quieran, o desayunar al otro dÃa lo que se les antoje.
But there are cases of cases and I have had to beg and plead with you to open your mouth. So the prizes with some sweets or trinkets have been a great help, basically it is about negotiating, they take the medicine and I will give them something that they want and we all win. This does not apply to those doses at night so I only apply this during the day. For the night we agree on other things like a game, wear the pajamas they want, or have breakfast the next day whatever they want.
Entonces creo que la fuerza bruta no es lo ideal, hay niños que de verdad están tan enfermos que con decirles que se sentirán mejor con la medicina, aceptan tomársela. Hay otros que no aceptan ni premios ni ningún tipo de distracción, la edad y la etapa en la que se encuentre también sera un punto determinante. Hay que intentar miles de opciones, cada vez sera diferente, debes tener paciencia y recordar que eres la persona que mas conoce a tu hijo. Educa desde pequeño, enseña con paciencia, crea rutinas o puntos de negociación y por supuesto entiende a tu tesoro porque algunas medicinas SI QUE SABEN HORRIBLE.
So I think brute force is not ideal, there are children who are really so sick that by telling them they will feel better with the medicine, they agree to take it. There are others who do not accept prizes or any type of distraction, the age and stage in which you are will also be a determining point. You have to try thousands of options, each time it will be different, you must be patient and remember that you are the person who knows your child the most. Educate from a young age, teach with patience, create routines or negotiation points and of course understand your treasure because some medicines DO KNOW HORRIBLE.
