my b3 month DS had his 2nd lot of jabs yesterday. He was fine this morning but shortly after feeding him at 12 he dtarted crying a lot. I thought it was wind and gave him some gripe water, but now he is REALLY yelling: very unhappy and I assume it is from yesterday's jabs. Can I guve him Calpol now? I gave him the gripe water just under an hour ago.....

Don't see why not , gripe water isn't really medicinal and contains no paracetamol.

yes becaquse the gripe water doesnt contain paracetomol as the calpol does so they are completely different
dony give any other paracetomol product though and you can also give baby ibuprofin(sp?) with calpol too but read amounts and get meds that are for babies age
