I’ve been hesitating on writing this since since I did not want to jinx it, but Nicholas no longer has to drink his supplements!! He is now swallowing all of his capsules like a champ!!!
I am using a capsule filler and have been mixing his day’s worth of doses, since I have some caps and some powders, and re-capsuling them in the big “00” capsules. Giving him fewer big capsules instead of a bunch of tiny ones has been one of the best moves I have made yet. Making my own capsules is a bit time consuming, but it’s not nearly as bad as I thought it was going to be.
As of today, there are only 3 supplements I have to mix with juice (and he doesn’t even flinch at these being in his juice – thank goodness!) – and that’s until they run out for the most part. His Nordic Naturals complete omega 369, Vitamin C and one of his gelcaps is a little on the HUGE side.
Oh wait, forgot about liver life and his micellized vitamin a – I just put those in a cup with a tsp of juice and he swallows it with no problem.
Just in case you are wondering where I got the capsule filler from, here are the links:
