A nurse showed me once that if you hold their hands above their head, they can't turn their head back & forth :) I'm still having a little trouble with the eye rubbing though :-/Springhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09063576713379017453noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-411159632141659406.post-80726833660441516272013-07-31T13:48:35.753-04:002013-07-31T13:48:35.753-04:00A secret that I found that works with eye drops an...A secret that I found that works with eye drops and one that I'm sure you've already heard and tried....have them close their eye. squirt it in the inner corner. have them open their eye and turn their head. (for 2 year olds. you sit on their arms and while they are screaming with their eye closed you squirt it in the middle timed perfectly with their head thrashing back and forth. This is the important part. You have to stabilize the childs head at this point because a head thrash can drip medication over the nose to the wrong eye or over closed eye not getting enough medication to the inside part of the eye. THEN you carefully pull open their eye to allow the drop to wash over their eyeball. Letting the child snap it shut containing the medication to the sick eye. Continue holding arms down as to avoid them rubbing medicated eye and or hitting you. Remember to occasionally check to make sure that the childs limbs are not turning purple from the pressure of your body weight. You can get side tracked with steps above and not realize that your body weight has shifted.<br />(eardrops are similar only without that pesky eye to open)<br />:)<br /><br />yay on hearing screens.K J and the kidshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11768311213861195548noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-411159632141659406.post-81298592499459283292013-07-31T13:35:09.888-04:002013-07-31T13:35:09.888-04:00He hates the eye drops, he squeezes his eyes close...He hates the eye drops, he squeezes his eyes closed which kind of works out, I drop them in the corner & when he opens his eyes they are in!
