Calpol after jabs - baby sleeping

[rebecca199]

Baby had her 4month jabs today at 2:30 so 1st dose calpol given at 2:30, second will be at 6:30 when she goes to bed and third due at 10:30

She usually sleeps through night until about 6am

Do I need to wake her up at 10:30 to give it? Or let her sleep?

I'll obviously keep an eye on her and check her temperature through the night x

I was advised to wake mine for the dose and I'm glad I did as her temperature did rise quite a lot and she obviously felt a bit rubbish. Though I didn't actually HAVE to wake her, I just put the calpol in her bottle teat and did a dream feed of sorts with it. Worked a charm!

Adding to clarify that she'd felt rubbish from a temperature just before the second dose, so I was happy to make sure she got that third one!
