NC because I feel like a sack of shit for what I did.
Baby has been really uncomfortable with teething lately so when she woke on Tuesday morning at 1:30, I gave her some Calpol, changed her and put her back to bed.
She was due her 16 week injections at 9:40 so we went, she was full of beans, obviously screamed her head off but settled down for a nap after. Got her home 45 mins later, gave her Calpol and feed and popped her in her bouncer.
Other than her 8 week injections I have never given her Calpol before but for quite a while did measure out gripe water using a syringe.
I take the bottles etc to the kitchen and just looking at the back of the Calpol I realise I had given her too much, BOTH TIMES! I was measuring 5mls, like I would have the gripe water, not 2.5mls as I should have for her age.
Obviously I freak out, call 111, they eventually reassure me whilst this is not great, it is not an overdose as she's not had more than the max amount in 24hr period. Obviously if anything changes to call them but not to worry and call if her symptoms change. I did not give her anymore and checked her temp and watched her like a hawk until going to bed myself.
She was fine all day until the evening when she got irritable. She fed and we did get her to sleep but she was really restless in her sleep. We kept her in the front room until we went to bed. She seemed to be less restless about 1hr or so before we put her into her crib.
She slept longer than usual but she is just as irritable today. Trying to get her to smile is really hard work when she normally can't stop herself.
I'm really sorry this is so long and seems pointless but I'm so upset, I think I've broken her. She seems just... meh. And if not meh, then she's unhappy. She's my first so I have nothing to compare this to and I've googled it a bit and have seen others had unsettled babies after the 16wk injections but no one so stupid as me to give her the wrong dose of Calpol twice.
I guess I'm hoping others are going to reassure me that their babies were unsettled and seemed depressed after the 16wk injections but this passed within x amount of time or... something.
We're supposed to be going to the in laws on Sunday for a week (its a long way away) and I'm dreading it. Their healthy happy grandchild has been screwed up by her idiot mother.
I told my OH about the Calpol and 111 and he's sure it's nothing to do with that, physically she seems fine. She's just had a personality transplant and it's not my baby anymore and I don't know what to do.
