[Ohio-talk] Measuring

[Barbara Pierce]

Anna, how old is your niece and how much do you have to measure? The little
cups that you get with OTC cough medicine and the like have lines on the
inside of the cup for 1 teaspoon and 2, I seem to remember. When I was
taking care of grandchildren, I would judge by touch at the correct line. If
the child is too small to be reliable drinking from the cup, you could
measure the right amount into the cup and then take that up in the eye
dropper and squirt it into the child's mouth that way.

Hi all, I am not sure what would be the best list to ask this question on
but Im posting it on a couple of lists.  
I am trying to figure out a way to measure out my baby niece's liquid
medication.  There is a syringe with  markings on it which I can see just
fine.  But the medication is almost transparent so it is very hard for me to
tell when it reaches the appropriate markings.  When Im measuring out darker
liquid meds, I have no trouble seeing it. But with this clear one, I dont
know what to do, other than have a sighted person do it every time (twice
every day).  I am going to be taking care of her while my sister goes out of
town for 10 days, so I am hoping to find out a way to do this on my own.
Any suggestions would be much appreciated!
Thanks

Anna
