So today I lied about DDS age....

[Nemoinapeartree]

.. to get her some cough medicine. REally suffering she turns 1 in 2wks so first pharmacy I went to I said blah blah cough medicing for asthmatic daughter who is 1 in 2wks..told me couldnt have anything. So Went to a different pharmacy and said she was just 1 they gave me tixylix....am I a bad mum??????

NO I doubt nothing magic will happen in two weeks.

*anything

thats what I thought so why was the person in chemist such a jobsworth..lol

I gave my ds who is 2 adult benylin last week by mistake. Very tired and grabbed the wrong bottle.

I caled NHS direct in a panic and they said there was no problem so I would definately give tixylix if 2 weeks away from birthday.

Chemist was covering their own back.

Frustrating though it is, can't say I blame him/her.

no suppose dont blame them in modern day but is frustraing as am trying to stop DD getting ill again..

Argh hate that term!!!

As a professional pharmacist it is more than her jobs worth to give out medicine if baby to young. As a parent you can make that judgement but she cannot knowingly sell it for under ones.

Age is irrelevant really - after all, what is suddenly going to happen in 2 weeks!

In France they dispense medicines for children according their weight, which makes much more sense (although it's a pain if you don't know how much your child weighs)

It won't do her any harm.
