6 months old- Paracetamol Dosage
My 6 month old has a fever, likely due to the seasonal change (one of the family members, 58F also has a fever at this time). I’m wondering if the correct dosage of paracetamol drops can be given. I have 100mg strength with 15ml. He weighs 6.5kg and his temperature is around 101 F.

High c reactive protein
My daughter is almost 4 years old and has been having an on-and-off fever for the past 10–12 days. Her blood tests showed an elevated C-reactive protein (CRP) level of 31.48 mg/L.
The doctor recommended Augmentin for 6 days and Omnacortil for 2 days as a change in medication. However, after stopping Omnacortil, she developed a fever again at night, around 100°F.

Sleep pattern
My baby is 50 days old and hardly sleeps for 5–6 hours in 24 hours. She has 7+ wet nappies a day, and her current weight is 3.9 kg (birth weight was 2.4 kg).
During pregnancy, her head size was measuring about 2weeks behind her gestational age, and at birth her head circumference was 32 cm. I’m a little concerned about her sleep and would like to understand what could be causing her to sleep so little. Could you please advise if this is normal for her age or if she needs to be checked?

I want to Stop Breastfeeding
My son is 1.5 years (18 months) old. We are trying to gradually stop breastfeeding, mainly the night feeds.
He currently wakes up around 3–5 times every night and usually expects breastfeeding to go back to sleep.
We have tried reducing the night feeds. During one waking, we tried not giving breast milk and instead:
* Carrying and walking him
* Offering water
* Comforting and talking to him for around 5 minutes
However, he cried continuously and could not be settled. We eventually had to call his mother and breastfeed him.
We also tried reducing the duration of breastfeeding, but he cried a lot when we stopped earlier than usual and did not accept it. He only settled after getting his usual/full feed.
He does not usually take or ask for a feed in the morning.
We are finding it very difficult to reduce the night feeds because of his intense crying.
Could you please advise us **what we should do at this stage and how we should proceed from here?**
