Do i wake a sleeping child to give them antibiotics?

[ptmum]

Im a great believer in healing while sleeping but heard somewhere that antibiotics work better if taking at the same time each day - my ds was due at 2.30 butis still sound asleep - any suggestions?
Thanks

Not sure, tbh, but bump for you.

How old is he ?? Could you put it in a syringe ? That way you may be able to just wake him slightly whilst you squirt it in his mouth.

I would. You also want him to sleep later so waking now wouldn't be so bad.

I'd wake him. Antibiotics should be given at very regular intervals, plus as grumpy says you'll want him to sleep later on as well.

I'd wake him - they do work better when given regularly vs erratically, esp if it's a once-a-day dose.
