Ray - they got me first go on the mobile so they could have gotten me first which is a PITA. We don't normally alternate panadol and neurofen - we give it at the same time as per Vic RCH guidelines. I agree about not trusting their maths but they should be able to trust MINE!

Kim, that is how we've done it in the past!

I went and picked DD up early and they gave her the neurofen before I got there. The Director went through the policy with me which was good because she realised they CAN give both panadol and neurofen which she didn't realise. But it also showed that they can't give it more than 2 days in a row without Dr orders which she didn't realise. And when we spoke with the girls in the room, two of them didn't even realise half the stuff in the policy! But then the Director told me to buy the bigger bottle of Panadol because then they'll give DD the larger amount - she didn't understand me when I told her they get more from the big bottle because it is a different concentrate (25mg per ml instead of 100 mg per ml in the smaller bottle). Eventually she agreed that if I brought the larger bottle in, they would give DD the amount I stipulate so I guess that is a plus.

This has been so frustrating! I'm only trying to make sure DD has the right amount of medication for her size! I wonder what they do for smaller children who are smaller than the average size for their age?
