Well, we got our free samples in the mail day before yesterday, and I was so excited!!! I'd ordered a jar of the orange flavor as well, partly to get the book, and also because the nice man I talked to on the phone with the company making MSB+, told me that most people prefer orange - it's easy to mix with orange juice.
Well. My Bene may have DS, but she's NOT stupid!
Try to con her into eating or drinking something she MIGHT not like - camouflage it in drinks or food - she'll see it on you miles away.
First, we tried the fruit punch - in pine apple juice. Got it down - and my child looked at me after as if she was ready to torture me to a slow death....
Ok. Second go. Fruit punch in milk. Even Mom realized she just couldn't make that little girl drink that, it looked like something from a toxic waste dump. At this point, Bene is already at a point where she won't even consider drinking anything that is not plain water.
So - I figure I'll safe it - I put the orange flavor in half a glass of orange juice - and lo and behold! She drinks it, and realizes after it's all gone that UGH! There was something in there. I bet I'll have a major challenge tonight to get her to drink orange juice....
So now I have 3 more free samples in different flavors which I am tempted to put into my own drinks - I'm going to need all the energy, creativity and wisdom in the world to
1) Get her to take it at home
2) Get her Dad to give it to her when a) she doesn't want it, b) it's "experimental", c) he forgets to give her her ordinary medication and d) it was my idea that she is going to try it out
Do anyone have a good solution to this? First, how do you mix it? She has to take 4 scoops daily. I've divided it into 2 servings, mainly so that we won't have to have this "battle" 4 times per day. I've also thought about having her teacher give it to her at school; that way I'd know she'd get her vitamins when she's at her dad's too.
Has anyone tried yogurt? Fruit puree? Any good suggestions?? I really want her to try it out for at least a month!
