[blparent] Eyedrops?

[Pickrell, Rebecca M.]

She sure is. 
She's also a very upset wiggle worm because on top of pink eye, she's
got an ear infection and we've all got stomach bugs. 
My excuse for not having resolved the "how do I get the drops in" at the
time of her pink eye diagnosis is that I was on the floor throwing up,
and so my husband who hadn't yet gotten sickhandled everything
So, will this technique work on a wiggly toddler? 
My guess is yes, but please give thoughts and pointers I may be missing.
