Wondering if i can mix 3.5ml amox-clav into her bottle of whole dairy milk to ensure she drinks the antibiotic? i put about 4oz. of milk. she is 1 y/o, recently was great at drinking her medication but now has been refusing and spurts it out!

Less milk is better: If a liquid medicine for kids does not say something like "do not take with milk or dairy" on it, a parent can mix it with a little bit of milk, maybe 1-2 ounces. AFTER the child drinks all that, the parent can offer the rest of the milk or meal. That's to avoid the situation of a child drinking only 3 ounces of a 4-ounce bottle (that got mixed with medicine) and getting only 3/4 of her medicine.
