Calpol Advice Please
Hi Ladies,
Jason and I both have a stinking cold and he is so bunged up. He has a sore throat too and his cry is just a wee croak - so sad! I just want to do something to help him. He's 8 weeks old but the youngest Calpol says not for babies less than 2 months. He's only a few days short and is a big baby weighing well over the 9lb limit. Do you think its ok to give it to him or should we just ride it out?
Thanks
a very snotty Faith and Jason.

My LO was given Calpol by the paediatrician at the hospital when she was less than a day old to help with the pain caused by the ventouse delivery so I'm sure it's fine as long as you don't exceed the recommended dose.
Hope you all feel better soon.

However, we were in the exact same position at 8 weeks and I gave DS a half dose and it was fine. HTH.
