A godsend for bad teething days and my baby liked the taste so it was easy to get him to take it.

We used this to keep our baby's temperature down after her jabs. It did seem to help a little.

Have used Calpol a few times with my little girl, first time we used it was when she had her injections, she had a temperature and we gave her some calpol, seemed to mask it for a bit but then the temperature came back again. Last few times we have given her it she has brought it back up, this is since we have increased the dose as she is 7.5 months old

Like the baby syringe that came with the bottle, makes it much easier to administer the medicine to a wriggling baby. Baby did not seem to like the taste initially, but swallowed eventually when given in small a mouthful at a time. Very sticky sweet taste, pink in colour. Used after vaccination and for cough, did not notice any improvement in symptoms.

Started using this for the jabs and made my daughter really constipated. She also did not like this and would spit it back out.

Great syringe that attached to the bottle, did find the syringe was problematic when we moved up to 5mls as seemed to let air in and needed to draw up multiple times or 2x2.5ml. Daughter didn't seem to like the taste!
