Eight Medicines you should not give your children

thats fine kristin and if she is really in pain you can give some panado or calpol which is really safe if you give the correct dose.

That is horribly irresponsible on the part of the pharmacists. So teegel and such is fine then? I'm using teegel and it's working really really well.

I really hate it Joli. I am sorry but I also hate doping kids to sleep.

I guess my paed is very conservative with meds and even when Dylan had colic he said the drugs would help us not Dylan and so I chose not to use them. I guess that is why I like him.

Kristin it is about teething meds that contain codene. The ones that the pharmacy "make up".

I believe that if normal panado doesn't work then your kid should see a doctor rather.

Yeah, we avoid meds as far as possible !

The only thing I really give them (and forget most mornings) are their vitamins.

Then the normal things prescribed by doctors for various ailments.
But I stopped giving over the counter meds when I read an article about some of the ingredients and how all we are really doing is making our children stoned.
That when we think they have calmed down and are resting, they are often suffering side affects similar to an addicts - scared the hell out of me.

Wish I could remember where I found the article/what I was looking for when I saw it - would post it for you.

You will be really shocked to see what people put down their kids throats, even the newborns. I see this all the time when doing shoots and sadly can't do or say much. It's scary!

Very sensible advice. I didn't see the facebook thing though. What was that about?
