DD woke with a slight cough this morning so I headed to the chemist to grab some cough mixture as I was all out and wanted some on hand if she it worse. I was told that cough mixture is no longer recommended for children under 6 years of age and subsequently they essentially wouldn't help me choose one. Most of them now do not display dosage for under 6 years but I managed to find a Demaxin one that did...

Anyone else encountered this and what on earth are we supposed to do for our babies when they have a bad cough!! My DD has had coughs before that made her cough so much to the point of vomiting and I'm sorry but no amount of panadol or neurofen can help that which is all they said to use!

Would love to hear about other mums experiences with this new recommendation.
