Out of interest did anyone get told they were going to be a parent after giving up any hope of it and then find they struggled to comprehend it?
Well the wee man has arrived. Typical shipping these days, arrived poorly packaged, some kind of security tag still in place, and with the manual missing. Has anyone got a copy they can forward?

Does anyone know where/how to get extra 5ml syringes to fit calpol bottles? Our one is defective and won't fill beyond 3ml.
Give them 2 doses? See how much it fills another spoon ?
I always think they're a bad design as if you need more than 1 dose you have to put it back into the bottle after being in your kids' mouth!

But also "apparently" boots keep the syringes behind the counter, not sure how accurate that is
Or they sell syringes like commercial ones for babies but they are pricey for what they are but obviously available same day

For under £3 you can get another bottle + syringe from pretty much anywhere![]()
I used to have a draw of those things, never know![]()

Yeah back in the day our baby draw looked like a crack addict had been in there
Jon
Quite.
Calpol leaflet and website:
"a special spoon or syringe will be supplied with the liquid paracetamol product to ensure it is measured accurately. Do not use any other spoon or device to measure the product."
Also Calpol website:
"we are not sending out individual syringes to consumers, as we do not produce any in addition to those put in the carton with CALPOL® Suspension bottles"
So when you ask what to do when the supplied syringe is defective their response is "buy another pack".
It's a marketing ploy to sell more. We've had three bottles now. Each syringe works for the first use then breaks after washing it. And no, we're not pulling them apart, just sucking up the water as advised, squirting it out and leaving it to dry. I don't think our water tank has added plastic disolvents, but maybe we should check.![]()
