Yep. With Oskar is was available over the counter with no prescription. As far as I understand it, it was a lot to do with misuse by parents (giving too much etc) that they made it only available by prescription. However, that said, my doctor refused to give me a prescription when I asked (I only asked cos I'd used it for Oskar and you can't get over the counter anymore) for Elijah as he was under 12 months (think he was about 10/11 months) and he said he doesn't like to use it on them under 12 months of age. Oh and actually there was something else he said. Ummm I think it was (don't quote me cos I only just remembered as I was about to hit the enter to post my reply) something to do with possible SIDS connection in young babies/kids?
