Medised - spaced-out baby

[Delovely]

Anyone had a bad experience with this? Gave DS a dose at 7 the other night and another at 4 in the morning and he acted scarily drugged (rolling eyes, couldn't sit up, just wanted to sleep) till about midday. Won't be touching the stuff again - it didn't even help him sleep!!!

PS He's 9 months

Is it approved for under 1s? I know I bought it by accident once, and didn't realise it was mostly antihistamines.

according to netdoctor its not recommended for under 2years old

I have medised infant which says it is from 3m+. Did you have the infant one, or was it the one for older children?

yg, snap!

OMG no, I do read medicine labels!! I used the 3 months+ stuff

The promethazine in Medised is an antihistamine. Some people are really sensitive to this and will become very sleepy. My guess is you have a sensitive baby.

its designed to help them sleep but not that excessivly, would try smaller doeses or try baby nurofen?

Tried it recently with a 4 month old and it didn't make her at all sleepy. Helped with the cold symptoms she had but no magic sleep button. Is he a particularly light boy? Or maybe just sensitive as suggested. Hope he is okay know.

I tried to but medised 3+ but was told by two different pharmacists that they no longer stock it in the lower strength. Maybe this is why.

that was 3mths+!

Well, its was recommended to me for a long haul flight, never again, it made both my kids hyper. DD, aged 3.5 at the time was awake all night apart from 3 hours, DS just screamed. JOY OH JOY, chucked the bottle, never again
