Hi all,
I am a new member here. I am from Norway and live in Oslo but has spent half my life in the UK (London)
I have had this long disucssion with some friends here in Norway who claims they have UK friends who regulary give their kids Calpol even when they are not sick. This in order to get their kids off to sleep at night.
I refuse to believe this is common practice and i never came across anyone who did this when I lived in the UK (ok, few years ago now but still..... )
The reason for this argument of course is the case of Maddie and the fact that her parents seemed to give her Calpol to sleep better but this is not, by any means a normal thing to do - or is it?
(In Norway I think you would be reported to the child protection unit if you give your kids drugs when they are not sick!)

Common in the UK to give your kids Calpol to put them to sleep?
