For @zagubiona_matka: A 12-hour interval must be observed. If you administered the drug every 8 hours, 3 doses per day would fall out and you could take too high doses of medicines.
And the interval must be 12h? Can it be given after 8 hours?

This dosage is suitable for a child weighing about 12 kg. This is the usual dosage of this drug, please follow the recommendations of your pediatrician. For children under 40 kg, the usual dosage ranges from (25 mg + 3.6 mg)/kg/day to (45 mg + 6.4 mg)/kg/day in two divided doses. In some cases, up to (70 mg + 10 mg)/kg/day, administered in two divided doses. In the case of a child weighing 12.4 kg using Amoksiklav 400mg + 57 mg / 5 ml (2x3.5 ml), he will take 560 mg of amoxicillin per day (with an acceptable range for this body weight from 560 mg-868 mg) and clavulanic acid 80 mg (with an acceptable daily dose from 80 mg - 125 mg).
