Re: Tylenol dosage for a 6 month old
How much does she weigh?
When DS was 6 mos, Dr told us we could do 1 and 1/2 droppers (I believe that is .08mL & .04mL) He was just over 20 lbs

Re: Tylenol dosage for a 6 month old
it really depends on the weight but at 6 months, my dr. told me to give .8 ml
I would check with a pharmacist or your doctor though

Re: Tylenol dosage for a 6 month old
My ped said 1 and a 1/2 droppers when i went for the 6 month well visit yesterday. i hear ya with the teething, I just came down from his room to give him some tylenol. 
BTW my DS is over 18 lbs, I think weight determines the am't . i agree with the pp, ask the pharmacist or doc. to be sure

Re: Tylenol dosage for a 6 month old
0.8 that's how much our ped told us to give our DD last week, she is 7 months and she is around 20lbs. I called him on Friday b/c Tylenol didn't help my DD so he said give her 1.25 Infant Motrin, he said it's much stronger than Tyleol , but may upset her stomach, she seems fine though and slept thru the night.

Re: Tylenol dosage for a 6 month old
18 pounds is the cutoff. Under 18 pounds is .8 (full dropper) and over 18 is 1.2 (dropper and a half)

Same here-it's weight based.
