It’s definitely not a simple task.

In a Facebook post, Helena Lee wrote:

“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."

Relatable, right?

But Lee quickly remembered an old trick: She added a bit of Calpol to a syringe that comes free with the medication, then inserted the syringe into the nipple of her baby's bottle...and it worked like a charm!

Lee shared that "not one bit got wasted" and there "no tears" from her baby.
