My daughter has just had her jabs and I’ve been advised to give her calpol every 4 hours. Just tried to give her the first dose and she spat most of it out. Any tips 🥺

My daughter was the same I put the Calpol in the bottle teat worked better than the syringe

The bottle teat method is good but if that doesnt work. Does your daughter use a dummy. If so, put the dummy in and squirt small amounts of Calpol down the side of the dummy into the mouth. They are already sucking on the dummy so it encourages to swallow. X

I put it in her bottle too, just make sure it's a small amount of milk so you know she's had the full dose of calpol :)

I find my daughter takes it off a spoon in little bits much better

I use the syringe, just squeeze a quarter at a time into the cheeks rather than tongue.
