Baby had his 8 week jabs about 1.5h ago. Was advised to give him an immediate dose of paracetamol and then 2 others spaced apart by 4 hours. I'm not keen on medicating unless needs be, obviously if I noticed he was in discomfort / his temp was high I wouldn't hesitate at all to give him the paracetamol. I brought a new thermometer and the paracetamol but so far he seems completely fine. Temp normal, had a good feed and is now fast asleep. Aibu to only give him the paracetamol if he becomes uncomfortable or if he has a temp? Obviously I'll be monitoring his temperature regularly.

@grace7 that'svery odd to come with a spoon. I'd just go and get some infant calpol. Thats what nurse who did our vaccinations told us to give. And thst comes with a syringe

You can just ask the pharmacist for a syringe if the bottle doesn’t come with one.

A syringe is really useful to have anyway, I always save all of them from Calpol etc.
