Default new method for son's eye drops!

And it kind of worked!

After having a horrible battle 3 times yesterday trying to get my little boy's post-op eye drops in and ending up taking him to the nurse so she could do it I googled some other methods.

That plus the bribery sweeties were successful today so my stress levels normal for a change!

Basically he lies down and squeezes his eyes shut, I drop drops in the corners and then he opens eyes and they go in! Far less hassle than holding him down and forcing them open!

Phew

tell him they are magic and will make his eyes ultra sparkly, admire his eyes ++ after you've done!

When one of my boys had to have eye drops it was a battle especially if you are alone at the time, my son was only a baby and I used to lay him on the floor between my knees with his arms by his side and hold him by his head almost sitting on him sounds cruel but I didnt hurt him. I hated doing it and was glad when OH was there to help in the morning and at night.
