I know pedi wrote it down for us & I have NO clue where I put the piece of paper! We are supposed to give it to him before his shots next week. TIA!

Up to 12 lbs. it is .4 on the dropper or the first line on the dropper that comes with Tylenol.

on the tylenol doseage sheet we got from the Dr. it said .8

I would call and see what your pedi recommends...sometimes recommendations can be different.

I would call them... I think it has to do with weight and not age.

12 pounds = 5.5 kilos which is how all pediatric doses are dosed.

tylenol dose is 15mg per kilo which is 15 x 5.5 =82mg

That is the 0.8 on the dropper.

Our doc gave us a chart that goes by weight, under 10lbs was .4, 10-12 was .6 and over that was .8 I believe.

Thanks for the Chart!

It also depends on the weight. Our Pediatrician recommended .6 for LO since he was over 12lbs at his 2 month appointment. I'd call your Pedi and ask them.

I would call your doc. We went to our two month apt. Monday and LO weighed 12.2 and as a result, the doc instructed us to give her .6 of tylenol. We were told not to give her tylenol until she was weighed at the appointment which took place before the shots. Everything worked out fine and LO slept a great deal that night! Good luck!!!
