I am 99% convinced that Nicolas is teething. If we have 1 more sleepless night I may fling myself out of a moving car.
That said... is it okay to give him Tylenol without my pediatrician's okay? He's never taken it before, but if we don't get some sleep tonight, I am going to lose it.
Help.

Re: Tylenol
Stacey are you sure its the full .8?
Ages 2-3 are 1.6
A 5 month old taking 1/2 that... should it be .4?

Re: Tylenol
My Dr told me .8 but check with yours Jenn.
.8 is only the dropper one time

Re: Tylenol
Jenn - 1 dropperful(0.8) is right - that is what the dr approved for Emily and they are basically the same weight.
I hope Nicky does better tonight!!

Re: Tylenol
Jenn - good luck tonight! The .8 is o.k. at this point - that's what my ped recommended. Ryan is allowed a .8 and a .4 if the teeth are really bad....sometimes just one dose at bedtime is all they need to get through...

Re: Tylenol
I'm so glad Nicky and you slept because I think the sleepless night was passed along to Gianna!!!!
She woke up SCREAMING at 12:15 and again before 6!!! I look like you said you felt yesterday!!!!!
Did you give him the .8? I think I'm going to give her that tonight because I'm not sleeping that well to begin with and I need whatever I can get!!!!
YEAH NICKY!!!!! Sleep well tonight precious little one!!!
