Calpol

We were told 2.5ml every 4-6 hours for at least 3 doses after the jabs. The syringe (I think) holds over 5ml and there should be markers on it for different amounts 🥰

Put it at the back of their mouth, in between the cheek and gum

My little has just had his jabs today! I put it to the side of his mouth n did small bits each time so he didn’t take the full 2.5ml all at once so he could swallow little bits until it’s done. I essentially copied what they did for the oral vaccine. No spit outs xx

yes if you put it towards the back of the mouth between cheek and gum. give them a little at a time and wait for the to swallow.

do it when they are hungry! or you can mix it with their milk in a bottle but they HAVE TO drink the whole bottle. so maybe only do an ounce with the calpol and make more after xx

The nurse gave a trick with my first of small amounts at a time and with every amount place the dummy in so they have that automatic sucking 😌

Thought a bottle teat

I put it in a bottle teat and he just sucks it out

Thanks everyone. I am EBF so he doesn't take a bottle. I will aim for the back/side of the mouth

Also did you use a 5ml syringe or a 1ml syringe? I know 5ml comes with the bottle but I have sterilised 1ml syringes at home too

Hope jabs goes well! I put it into a 5ml syringe and popped it by her cheek and her gums and gave her a little bit at a time to help prevent spit up. I didn't sterilise the syringe before hand x
