## _A mum’s clever hack to get her baby to drink his medicine has gone viral and it’s so simple! _

Helena Lee, from Addlestone, Surrey, always find it hard to get her son, Alfie to
take his medicine, so when she heard about this one simple trick, she knew her life
would change forever — at least in getting her son to take his medicine.

In a [Facebook post](https://www.facebook.com/helena.richardson3/posts/10154669787026920),
Helena said the method worked like magic. She explained that she just inserted the
syringe of medicine through the drinking hole of a bottle lid, and voila! She also
shared a photo of her baby boy happily drinking it. She wrote:

 Her post has earned more than 45,000 reactions and over 124,000 shares.

However, while some mothers were appreciative of Helena’s simple trick, others were
convinced it would never work on their bubs.

Anyhow, well done Mum!
