Answer 1

During a nappy-change or after a bath (when you can put him over your lap) are the best times.

You may have to hold your finger over his butt for a few minutes to ensure he doesn't expel it!

Answer 2

my mum did to me, when I was little...

Answer 3

Yes, I had to with my son. It's uncomfortable but he will be fine. And once the meds start to work he will feel much better. Do it as quickly as you can, you may need someone else to help hold him down. It works so much better than oral when in your situation. Trust me your frustration is about to end! Good luck!
