Calpol guilt

I have major calpol guilt, my 9 month old baby has has back to back teeth break through for the past 2 months and I feel like i am giving him lots of calpol at night to help with the pain else he’s chewing on has finger crying. At the minute he’s probably having three times a week at night, and I just feel really guilty about it. Does anyone else?

As long as your not going over the limit Calpol is there to help when baby isn’t well or if it helps teething nothing to feel guilty about xx

Don't feel guilty for taking his pain away. Teething is horrific. With my first there was a good few weeks where I gave him a dose so he would sleep nearly every night

Calpol is liquid paracetamol. As above, as long as you're not exceeding the limit don't worry. Teething pain is horrible (my little girl is getting her first teeth while my wisdom teeth are coming through)

I’ve a lot of pharmacy friends : who are parents - they settled my nerves.

I’ve done something similar with mine. I don’t want them to be in pain! And it works. Calpol doesn’t help them sleep, it just eases pain so it’s not like we’re drugging them. They get a lot of illnesses while they’re building immunity and teeth coming through, it’s a lot for them and they can’t communicate so I don’t feel bad about it

Don’t worry it’s there to help them, my 9 month old has been the same for months with calpol every few days
