Calpol is great for any aches or pains though doesn't always last through the night for teething pains. Usually brings down a temperature and my son prefers the taste to other brands of paracetamol we have tried so will take calpol when he needs it. (He's only 8 months old)

Easy to dispense, offers a sugar free clear syrup option which is good. Used when my daughter was given her jabs as a baby and used for any other pain relief such as teeting or a cold

Works if you can get baby to swalllow it, but when it runs out of their mouth it then stains everything permenantly pink. Not ideal.

This was not really a good option for me as did not seem to help at all when my baby had severe teething pain. Its better than nothing is the best I can say. The price is very reasonable too I feel. Maybe best for mild use.
