Very effective and I like that this includes a spoon rather than the syringe thing Calpol comes with. However supermarkets offer the same thing for less in their own brands.

Baby likes the taste. Accidentally gave too much though as didn't realise the dose was different to Calpol. More uniformed dosing across medicines for specific age ranges would he helpful.
