Is it reasonable to buy two bottles of calpol?

[KinderGurl]

With what’s going on I want to buy calpol just in case, my baby is 10 months. Really unsure of how many to buy. Other people do need it too for non CV reasons.

Is two greedy baring in mind what’s going on?

It's a sensible amount to have in. Yiu could get through a fair bit, just teething.

DS1 injured his knee when he was small and came back from A&E with several bottles each of paracetamol and ibuprofen just to last a week.

Yes one bottle is plenty. If you buy a 200ml bottle, based on your child's age they only require a 5ml dose, so that one bottle is going to cover you for 40 doses. Assuming they take the maximum 4 doses a day, you basically have 10 days of doses in a 200ml bottle. Just buy one bottle, id you statt to work through it then get another. There are shortages so just buy 1, there's no need to get 2.

I have 3 children and normally have 2 bottles of calpol and a bottle of nurofen in. Yesterday I doubled it. I don’t care about sounding selfish when it comes to my kids. Yes there will be people going without with all the panic buying, my children won’t be though

I was basing on the tiny bottles.
