swallowing enzymes

My daughter is only 2. I just open up the capsule and pour it in her mouth and give her a sip of something and down they go, one by one. Its soooo much easier than the applesauce, but not involved like swallowing them whole. She does probably need more enzymes because of all the beads that don't make it, but its working well for us.

We also have a cup that was sent to us by the makers of creon. Its a pill training cup. There is an inner ledge on one side of the cup where you can fit a pill. there are slots under the ledge that let the drink cup through when they tip the cup and then the drink and pill go into their mouths. I think its the same concept as ehtansky21's suggestion with the straw.

i know it sounds like a bad idea but go find some pill sized candy she's never seen before (so she doesn't associate it with candy) and then have her practice with them, they don't taste bad when you don't get one down fast enough, and really talk it up like it's something she should be really proud of and it'll encourage her to do it, that's how my aunt and uncle got my cousin not afraid of thunder? and thats how mom and dad taught me to swallow pills

Jae just started swallowing whole pills about six months ago.. she is six. So, ymmv...but we had no issue with just breaking the creon open and she would swallow the beads with a sip of juice or milk. Worked for us for 3 yrs before she finally started swallowing pills! Which is nice bc the zithro is pill form now also. Hated getting the liquid every ten days from the pharmacy! LOL.

Aidan started swallowing pills at about 17 months old. He also uses the straw trick. We load the straw with his pills,sometimes up to 10 at a time- and he sucks them down in one sip. Then he eats whatever. It is so great. Ever since he swallowed pills, his poops have been better too!
