| I saw this earlier.
To be honest, I always give my kids half the dose it says and they have always been fine on it and it still works great x |

| well I give Cerys 7.5ml now compared to 5ml before. I think it is also to make sure that they get the maximum dose for their age. So Cerys could have been having another 2.5ml (she is now). The new bottles have the new dosage on too xx |

| We had Calpol prescribed from the hossie the other night for Alyssa for her tonsillitis and as they do it based on weight, they said she can have 5.8mls xx |

| Yeah we do it by weight at work and I do at home if im being honest cos Im used to working it out but am I the only one who thought the guidelines were a bit obvious. Ok so 1-6 is 5-10 so at one you obv keep it down to 5 and at 6 its up to ten so you just taper it as they get older. Ie at 4 its 7.5. I would have never given a 1 year old ten mls unless I was doing a weight dose anyway |
