Tip fo getting a Toddler to take medicine

DD flat out refuses to take medicine when you try to feed it to her.

First its no,no,no,no, then she clenches her fists, shuts her mouth tight and wriggles like crazy. If you try and force it on her she spits it back out.

Yesterday I poured her antibiotic into one of those measuring thimble like cups and I left it on the coffee table. I said "there is your medicine, you can take it when you are ready". To my surprise DD drank the medicine and then came back and asked for more!!

I quietly chuckle to myself and feel like I have won the battle (this does not happen too often with DD)!
