How in hells bells do you give them Tylenol?
I've been giving AJ Motrin exclusively since she was one.
Why?
Cause I can't figure out how to give her tylenol. Our doctor said 1.2 was that measurement. Well the dropper has an .8 & .4 so yeah, one of each.
It hard enough to get one shot in her mouth I'd never survive having to tell my hubby to keep holding her while I got back for more.
His suggestion is two droppers.
Am I the only one who finds this annoying? Motrin is so much easier at 1.875 (or whatever it is at the top line).
 Ok, vent over

Re: How in hells bells do you give them Tylenol?
we've only ever given Tylenol. I don't find it too difficult honestly, plus I guess DS likes the flavor because he opens wide for it. Sorry

Re: How in hells bells do you give them Tylenol?
I would say use two droppers too 
my DD loves the taste of all her meds except Zantac (its minty, no clue why theyd have minty meds for infants) but she loves mylicon, tylenol and gripe water
maybe mix it in a little formula or BM (not a lot so you know shed finish it all to get the whole dose?)

Kaydyn loves Tylenol so we don't have a problem going back for a 2nd dropper ful. She opens wide and after 2 says "All Done"

For us....I personally found that as soon as Logan reached the weight limit, I switched to the Childens Motrin. With that, for HIS weight, he gets a tsp. which is easy to measure with those plunger type syringes from the drug store.
Before I switched him, the 2 dropper fulls of motrin were a REAL PITA!!!

I say "Lily, do you want medicine?" And she says "YES!!" and opens her mouth.
She loves the liquid vitamins too though

go to your pharmacy and ask for a dropper/syringe.  They have all sizes... 5ml... 1ml... etc.
We get them all the time from cvs.

Shane can't talk yet but I'm sure he'd say the same if he could. He LOOOOOVES Tynelol....slurps it up like it's ice cream.

Yup - either get it from the pharmacy or they also sell really cool ones, I'm guessing at BRU and BBB. I saw someone had one this weekend. It was more like a syringe and it was bigger so you can handle it easily. I'm going to look for one too next time I am at the store.
