Can I give calpol mixed with

[inscotland]

my little boy's forumla? He's bad with his teeth at the moment and has woken in such pain the last couple of nights I want to try and dream feed him and get a dose in at the sametime. Can it be done? Would the formula breakdown what's in calpol?

DOn't know if the formula would seperate or not - try it and see just now.
There is no harm in mixing it in - I still have to put ds's in melted ice cream when he has a bad cold.

I have mixed other medicines in with ds's feed but not tried calpol. I would mix it in a smaller amount though and feed at the start of the feed because if he doesn't finish the bottle you will be left not knowing how much he has had iykwim?

Have you tried the syringe method? I have also just unscrewed the teat and sort of fed it to him in that as well (measured amount in a syringe and then squirt it into teat and feed to baby as they are half asleep).

Good luck!
