Baby Hack #1

Greetings, Internet Populace!
  This is the first post of The Naked White Baby ('s mama)! Enjoy and thanks for stopping by!

  Ok. Babies. Is it me or are they CONSTANTLY undergoing some kind of sickness/stuffiness/teething pain/general crabbiness/tiredness/getting hurt etc? 

   Well, I've been told that's normal so it's best if you just don't expect good things (ok my husband is from Chicago and that may be one of those Midwest type "downer" lines). But really, once we kind of accepted that our 14 month old was a pro at stressing us out with constant ear infections, we just took the next one in stride #mamaisgrowingup?

   With that said, here is a "baby hack" for getting that (disgusting, projectile vomit inducing) medicine down.
   Wait. I can't give it away so soon. What have you tried? Peanut butter? Jelly? Juice? Yogurt? All still nasty and gag reflex tickling. Ice cream? Honey? Sugar? Bread? We used to mix pb and j with the medicine (it's that super chalky one - augmentin?) making such a huge volume that it took about an hour to slowly sneak it all in, not to mention your baby doesn't want to eat anything so he fights the whole time. We needed something SUPER concentrated and cold to get rid of that gross taste.
   Did I give it away yet? FROZEN JUICE CONCENTRATE. 

  The nectar of the medicine gods. Just a tiny teaspoon and the syringe drew it up like magic (we were spoon feeding the pb n j concoction). It made the chalky medicine that had even my husband and I gagging taste like a wonderfully cold pineapple orange Popsicle! I still can't believe it. Love that stuff. It seriously saved me from breaking down in tears twice a day at medicine time.
