Let’s talk Tylenol for a minute.. what is your doctors recommended dose for 5 months of age? My son…

I’d go by the weight/dose on the bottle of the meds. That’s always what I used when giving meds

@ss3mom, it’s a prescription bottle of Tylenol so it doesn’t say. 😭 and also on my regular bottle of Tylenol it says under 24 lbs to ask a doctor.

This is what my daughters pedi told us to go by

@jdeflipp, oh I see. I thought it was a regular bottle of Tylenol

@ss3mom, lol I should have been more specific I’m sorry

@jdeflipp, oh no worries. I hope the chart above has helped. Sorry I’m no help

@ss3mom, yeah it helped. I also think on the prescription bottle it says 3 ml because instead of your average Tylenol that says every 4-6 hours as needed .. the bottle says 3ml strictly every 6 hours as needed. So it sound pretty much spot on. I usually don’t have prescription Tylenol so I didn’t really know

The only thing you have to watch is mg/ml some are concentrated and that will change the dose

@iwannaplay, the prescription one I have says the same thing of the store bought one that I have. I made sure I checked that ahead of time to see if that was why but with the chart up there I see it’s just the weight difference and times that contribute I guess

My daughter is 13lbs and I give her 2.5 mL as directed by her pediatrician when she needs it.
