Did anyone ever give DC Children's Tylenol Cold when...
they were a baby? Alexa is almost 10 months.
I am so mad that they don't sell the Infant one anyone. It worked awesome for Andrew.
Alexa now has a cold and I was wondering if I could give her half of a half of a half of a dosage?
Did anyone ever do it? TIA

Maybe they have changed their formula, but I thought cold medicine was a no-no for under 6 years old?

I just looked into this because DS (11 months old) has another cold. I found this info on the tylenol website. I would ask your ped before doing anything! Hope she feels better!

I used it all the time for Andrew and had no problems and would again. The reason they took it off the market was because parents were overdosing their kids. The packaging was not correct and it was not safe enough to leave in the hands of some parents.
It was always OK for years. This just started not that long ago.
I am going to call the ped and see what the correct dosage is. Thank you
