Paracetamol (Calpol)

Paracetamol

I suggest that you also give your son some paracetamol before the procedure. Paracetamol is only available for purchase over-the-counter for babies over 2 months old. It is however, safe under medical guidance (me) to give for newborn babies as well.

I suggest you buy a bottle rather than the sachets, and don’t say it is for a newborn baby, otherwise the pharmacist may not sell it to you.

Do not give your son any paracetamol until I arrive, I will help you give it to him.
