Gripe water dosage help

The cap is over 5ml. My health visitor said to never measure from the cap as it can cause an OD because you don’t know how many ml you are giving

Try not to worry, I used to just try and pour from the bottle always getting too much. I ended up meansuring it in calpol shringes to make sure I wasn’t giving to much. It is all natural, but too much could cause an upset tummy. If LO has been ok don’t panic, just measure it out in future. I also found only giving half the recommended dose had the same impact

thank you! I’ve made myself feel slightly better and saw that 5ml = 1 teaspoon, so I measured out a teaspoon into the teat so see if it looked similar and I was slightly above, but didn’t actually let him take the full dose so I must’ve been almost spot on the 5ml mark thank god! Thank you xxx
