Hey all, my daughter is 3.5. I wanted to pick your mind on the times of giving antibiotics. She needs if 4 times a day (it's penicillin) do you wake your little ones in the middle of the night to give it to them or do you give it in a day. I swear to God every doctor tells me different story so I thought I'll ask the mums!

Just during the day. I wouldn't wake overnight

My GP told me to never wake a sleeping child!

Just spread the doses as equally as you can during waking hours.

Depends on the antibiotic. Some need you to be really stringent with time. Others less so.
