As cited in my earlier entry, little Rachel has been blowing out the chinese medicine since her 1st swallow. Now she'd try to close her mouth tight when she sees me bringing out the syringe(but will happily open her mouth when I show her the syringe with clear water!)
So, I tried a different way - I 'squeezed' her cheeks so that her mouth wld 'open'(slightly), and this technique also prevents her from blowing the med out. However, she decided to hold the medicine in her mouth and spit it out the minute I released my hold! Then, hubby tried another technique(one which my FIL had taught hubby when he told him how hard it was to feed jie jie in the earlier days) - pinched her nose and although she was tricked the 1st time, she found another way to counter this, aiyoh, she seems to find every alternative to counter our feeding technique, like that how?!.....
