Hello
Thanks for asking us.
You should not worry at all, this much dosage is not over dosage. Your baby will be little sedated and sleepy.
Just give him your feed if he is sleeping too much.
Hope this answers your question. If you have additional questions then please do not hesitate in writing to us and do a follow up.
*Always check for history of allergy before taking any medicine.
wishing your child good health
with regards
