Waking baby to give calpol?
This probably sounds like a stupid question but my girl had her 8 week jabs this afternoon, we gave her calpol straight after at 15:40, then again at 20:00. It’s next due at midnight but she’s settled to sleep now.. should I wake her to give her the 3rd calpol dose to prevent fever or just leave her and give it again when she wakes up? Thanks!

Wait until they wake up next ans give it them then
Thanks guys! She ended up waking half an hour ago anyway. Think I’m going to be in for a long night 😅
I know she's a woken up but just to mention so people can read this and be aware. I would have 100% fed her Calpol when due to prevent a fever before it comes on. There is every possibility of a febrile seizure when a fever comes on quickly, my daughter had one and ever since we keep ahead on meds! Not trying to fear monger just hoping to help someone out because I absolutely didn't think this could happen before it did. She is fine now just fyi x

I was told to not wake baby up for it as Most babies usually don’t sleep longer than 6 but depends on your lo :)
