CMPA?

Calpol pre immunizations

My LO is due his first set of immunizations on Wednesday and Iā€™ve had some advice and read several sources about giving Calpol before the injections as a preventive measure and another at 4-6h after.

What happens if a 7 month old consumes a large amount of salt

I turned around for 2 minutes to make her some porridge i didnā€™t see her put play dough in her mouth but i saw her fingers in her mouth im guessing she did put some in her mouth as few moments later she vomited. By the way I made the play dough at home with a lot of salt. She is fine in herself but should I be worried?
