They both double checked the dosage and we're fine at 5 mL. Thank you!<br /> Maybe this is why so many people need to alternate with acetaminophen?! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/psa-check-your-dosage#post-2525373 Thu, 14 Apr 2016 18:53:21 +0000 lovehoneybee 2525373@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@regberadaisy: one of the times we took E to the ER with a high fever they told us we'd been under dosing him. They said with his weight he should've been getting 7.5mL! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/psa-check-your-dosage#post-2525352 Thu, 14 Apr 2016 18:16:03 +0000 regberadaisy 2525352@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh fudge now I'm afraid I overdosed her. I just gave her 5 mL of infant Advil because the nurse on the phone told me its 5 mL for acetaminophen and ibuprofen. But she's not 2 yet so she's not old enough for children's medicine yet? F*ck. I'm putting her to bed now.... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/psa-check-your-dosage#post-2525336 Thu, 14 Apr 2016 18:05:33 +0000 Mrs. Oatmeal 2525336@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The switch from infant to children's Tylenol is what got me! It went from being like 1.5mL of infants Tylenol when K was 18months, to being like 5mL of kids Tylenol at 2.5! I know the suspensions are different, but I have to check ALL the time! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/psa-check-your-dosage#post-2525275 Thu, 14 Apr 2016 17:01:18 +0000 oliviaoblivia 2525275@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I check every time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/psa-check-your-dosage#post-2525250 Thu, 14 Apr 2016 16:39:17 +0000 birdofafeather 2525250@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I check the bottle every time!

I always tell my husband you are giving yourself like a baby dose when he insists on taking one Advil. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/psa-check-your-dosage#post-2525237 Thu, 14 Apr 2016 16:24:41 +0000 NavyRN2012 2525237@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I guess because I'm a nurse this is just second nature for me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/psa-check-your-dosage#post-2525204 Thu, 14 Apr 2016 15:51:35 +0000 snowjewelz 2525204@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I check every time b/c I forget! </p> <p>Hopefully she will feel better now, lol! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/psa-check-your-dosage#post-2525201 Thu, 14 Apr 2016 15:51:04 +0000 rattles 2525201@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I check every time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/psa-check-your-dosage#post-2525199 Thu, 14 Apr 2016 15:50:13 +0000 lawbee11 2525199@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I check the dosage on the box every time because I always forget. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/psa-check-your-dosage#post-2525198 Thu, 14 Apr 2016 15:49:27 +0000 Foodnerd81 2525198@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I usually ask at every ped visit and then double check online every time. I don't trust myself to remember anything these days (though I always fear overdosing more than under). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/psa-check-your-dosage#post-2525196 Thu, 14 Apr 2016 15:48:02 +0000 MamaChin 2525196@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Every time I dose them (2 and 3) I have to do math because I have so much infant advil. Also it's more concentrated so it's less I have to get them to ingest. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/psa-check-your-dosage#post-2525194 Thu, 14 Apr 2016 15:47:04 +0000 Shantuck 2525194@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Better that than overdosing her! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/psa-check-your-dosage#post-2525191 Thu, 14 Apr 2016 15:43:31 +0000 regberadaisy 2525191@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>😭 I suck, DD2 has been miserable most of the day because I've been way under dosing her ibuprofen. I was giving her 1.875 mL when she should be at 5mL for her weight. 😭</p> <p>When's the last time you adjusted LO's med dosage? </p>
