Calpol 2months +

Heyyy so this may be a really stupid question... but my baby is now 8weeks + 1day old. She has her immunisations tomorrow so she will be 8weeks + 2days. I am wondering can she have Calpol after her immunisations even though technically she isn't 2months (cause of this month having more than 4 weeks)! I hope this makes sense! It's just really confusing me and I have no idea what to do as I don't want her to spike a fever...

Yes it does make sense and she can have it but as far as I remember, you give it to her just before she has the injections- I did it in the waiting room. My son was eight weeks 0 days as they did the appointment at the same time as my post c-sec check.

Hi, not a stupid question! Yes baby will be ok to have it. We gave it to DS once we were home from the 8 week immunisations as advised by the nurse, and then you can repeat as per the instructions on the box if more is needed.
