Many parents report huge struggles in trying to get their kids to take medicine, laxatives, or supplements. After intervention, if children get off of feeding tubes or baby bottles, parents need new ways to get medications in. Even though this is a very frequent and super important issue, outside of pill swallowing and formula, it had not yet been reported in the literature. What’s great is that children can learn to do this independently instead of by syringe by others or ‘hiding’ it. In an in-home programme in Australia, we taught kids to take 9 items, in 8 flavours, 4 forms, and 5 delivery methods, and taught open cup drinking and self-feeding with utensils. https://doi.org/10.1177/01454455221113558
