Can I mix medicine in breastmilk before giving to my child? My two year old does not like to have medicines.

For babies, mix the medicine with formula or breast milk only as a last resort. Babies often detect the medicine and may refuse their next bottle or nursing. If your baby has started on solids, check with your doctor whether that particular medicine can be taken with food. These "mixers" include applesauce, pudding, juice, yogurt etc. This article has other methods you could try: http://www.parents.com/baby/health/antibiotics/how-to-get-babies-to-take-medicine/
