We have made a game of it at times where a desired treat soup was only given by dropper
that dripped in front of their faces with them choosing when to take lick the soup. (Some
really get insistent about it and bite the dropper trying to get more.) Finger feeding special
treats is also something we have made into a game here. Yes, it helps to turn it into a special
fun, cuddle time before things go wrong.
