Calculating a Calpol (acetaminophen) dose based on your baby's weight — no matter how experienced someone is — is something that needs to be done by a pediatrician or pharmacist. The dosage, which form (syrup, suppository), and how many milligrams your baby needs can only be determined by a healthcare provider who has examined your baby, knows their weight, and understands their medical situation. I won't give you a mg/kg calculation or any specific number because applying the wrong dose at home can be dangerous.
The safest approach: read the package insert, and if you're unsure, call your local pharmacy or contact your doctor directly.
Does your baby have a fever, or is there another concern? Understanding that will help me give you more relevant guidance.
