Ear Infection Fun
They say with parenting, it's important to keep a sense of humor. Luke came down with his first ear infection over the weekend, and while it hasn't been fun listening to his painful cries, we all managed to have a little laugh over his inability to consume his bubblegum flavored amoxicillin via syringe.

A trick I learned is to lightly blow in his face when you put the medicine in his mouth. His reflex will be to suck in and he'll end up taking more.
Good luck! Welcome to the wonderful world of ear infections!
Yeah, Ryan had a bunch of ear infections (5?) from 6-12 months and your picture with pink medicine everywhere is all too familiar. But for some reason, after the third infection he started liking the medicine and it was much easier. And if the pharmacy asks, take a dropper instead of the spoon measurer. We made that mistake once and only once. Hope he's doing better!
