If you're sick of being caked in Calpol, then this is the medicine-taking trick for you and your little one.

A TikTok-ing mum has amazed followers with her clever and simple way to successfully get medicine down the easy way.

User @hannahroberts175 shared the helpful hack on the social media site and was showered with over 2.7 million views and thousands of encouraging comments. 

She captioned the clip: "I highly recommend it if your baby is awkward with her Calpol like mine."

The mother can be seen putting the medicine syringe into the top of a feeding bottle which she then cunningly puts into her baby’s mouth who laps it up with no spills or bother.

One appreciative user commented: "This is genius."

Another praised: "Awww going to try this... mine has a cold and hates Calpol."

A third added: "Due in April... I’m going to store this in my brain forever."

A grandparent commented: "I've got three children, 33, 26 and 17 and never knew this. I'll remember this for my grandchildren, thank you."

One healthcare professional applauded: "My whole day I've been watching all of these videos. As a childcare provider, yours wins!"
