| Tip Applying Eye drops to Children Made Easy Tip |
A lot of us already know what an ordeal it can be to apply eye drops to a reluctant baby or child. If you need to apply these regularly here's a safe and helpful tip where you don't have to "force" the eyes open and is for this reason definitely less scary for your child: Make your child lie down with its head in your lap, eyes up of course. Ease him or her by quietly telling: "just close your eyes." Then drip the needed number of drops in the inner corner of the eye next to the bridge of the nose, enough to make a small pool. Then when your child feels relaxed enough it will open the eyes and the drops will flow gently straight into the infected area Job well done, 10 points, a hug and a kiss for mom or dad!! (And later on eternal gratitude...) |
