Calpol

Can you put calpol in the last bit of milk? My girls just had her 16 week vaccine and we usually give her the calpol separately but if she has anything in her mouth after her feed she just projectile vomits.

Shoes

My 21 month son has always been in Clarks shoes since he started walking because I’m very pro foot health and want to remain this way but they are so expensive. I have just ordered a pair from Vinted but was wondering what does everyone else do? Are places like next etc good for foot health?
