Calpol

My little girl hates taking calpol! She screams so much! Has anyone else found this? She had her 16 week jabs yesterday so I had to give it to her and it was such a battle.

Yep, I’ve started putting the calpol in my son’s milk otherwise he just ends up choking on it from all the screaming

My little girl pulls faces when I give it to her. She really isn't a fan. She's breastfed and found if I give it to her when she's hungry then feed her she takes it a bit better

Same and she wont take a bottle so i cant put it in the teat but the syringe is awful. She had hers yesterday too and threw up everywhere after 2 of the doses. She has a fever but i cant give anymore even though she threw it up

We worked out that our little girl hates the thicker consistency of it, I now dilute it with about 5ml milk to thin it out and she’ll either take it from a bottle or straight from the syringe x

I mix it into an Oz of milk for my son because of the same reason. I only do it with a small amount of milk so I can make sure that he has had the full dose. I made the mistake first time of mixing it into a 5oz bottle and he didn't finish it so didn't know how much calpol he had had!

Same as the others, i've just been putting it in the milk so I know for definite she's had a full dose x
