Question:
My family takes garlic supplements to prevent colds and flu. Is there a way to give garlic to my 1 year old?
I'm really not asking for your opinion on whether garlic works or not. Only my 1 year old has had colds/flu this entire winter. I would like to know if anyone knows a way to give a toddler garlic supplements.

I'm not looking for ways to shove a garlic pill down his throat, but thanks medical professional. CPR wouldn't exactly help anyways if a garlic pill was stuck in his throat. I might have to give the heimlich a try on that one if I was stupid enough to give him a pill.
Thanks to all who answered. I tried it on some of his food tonight and down it went!

Depending on your child's digestive system, you can mix a tiny amount of garlic juice into his food, especially Italian dishes (ravioli, spaghetti, beefaroni) which kids around that age begin to enjoy.
