It is a difference dosage from the infants concentrate - I'd call your PED to get the correct dosage.
ETA: I just checked the dosing chart my MIL gave me (she is a nurse) and the min. weight listed is 24 pounds - doesn't mean your Dr won't allow you to give it to DC, but I'd call first

Yep, just check the dosage by weight.
Our ped told us to switch to children's tylenol at 6m, because DS was 20lbs and it would be cheaper.
