Do you keep medication in for minded children?
At our group this morning we were talking about giving medication to minded children and I seemed to be the only one who doesn't keep a supply of infant paracetamol or ibuprofen in the cupboard, just in case a child should need it.
Do you all have them in your cupboard or does anyone else not keep them in?
I guess if your own children are younger you might have them in anyway, but what if your children are older? Do other childcare settings (nurseries, playgroups) have their own supply?
I'm wondering now if I ought to buy some, although I have never had an incident when I've thought to myself "if only I had a bottle of calpol in the cupboard!"
I was made to feel that I'd be letting children suffer unnecessarily if they needed pain relief and I didn't have any :(
