Night Nurse For A Baby

[Ric.ror]

If an adult can take 30mls of night nurse can a toddler have 5 Mls?
My sons baby is having difficulty sleeping due to a cold

[Ric.ror]

He is one BTW and a hefty weight too

Not for children under 6 according to the last bottle I had.

Infant paracetamol (such as Calpol) is 100mg and is given in 5ml measure for a one year old.
Night Nurse has 1000mg per 20ml dose, so 5ml is FAR too much

[Ric.ror]

Ok we won't give it to him
What about the medicines for travel sickness?
They induce sleep don't they

[ladyalex]

I really wouldn't give him anything except for 'baby' stuff.
Ask your local pharmacist for advice.
The cold will clear up soon or if it doesn't, take the baby to the GP.

What's wrong with infant Calpol, that usually makes babies sleepy.

[Sqad]

What a contentious issue........

I agree I would NOT use Night nurse for all the reasons given above.

I agree with Prudie,.....Calpol would be the answer.

[murraymints]

calpol should do it !

Calpol always worked on my kids when they were small.
