How can I teach my child to swallow a pill? Some children as young as age 3 or 4 can swallow a pill, while some teenagers still can't accomplish the task!

Babies of this age are able to hold objects and can learn drinking liquids from a cup. Give your baby a sippy cup that does not have a valve, so he can suck easily. Choose one which can hold 4-6 ounces of liquid, and fill it up to the top so your baby does not need to tilt his head up when sipping. A large cup filled with water may be too heavy for a small baby to use.
