Mum’s tip to get infants to take their medicine goes viral.

Helena Lee, from Addlestone, Surrey, inserted the syringe of medicine through the drinking hole of a bottle lid and shared a snap of her baby boy happily drinking it.

Helena explained: ‘For all the mummies! So for the last 24hours I’ve struggled to get Alfie to take Calpol, he has ended up covered in half of it where he spits it at me. Then I remembered seeing this trick.”

‘Not one bit got wasted – and no tears. Please feel free to share with any baby mummies you know.

Helena’s post has since gone viral across social media with 124,000+ shares and thousands of comments from grateful mothers.
