How much Infant Tylenol should i give my two month old daughter after having her shots?
I would not give tylenol unless she seems to be very uncomfortable or is running a fever. Not all kids need meds after shots - some have no effects!- and a new study says it may lessen the effects of the vaccinations.
Please do not give her anything until you ask your pediatrician! Never, ever hesitate to call the office if you have ANY questions about medication dosages or anything else. That's what they are there for! :-)
Below is the website for tylenol which gives the correct dosage which is based on your daughters weight.

If this doesn't help, call the peditricians office.
yes-def call your doctor. Don't ever feel bad or like you are bothering them-that's what they are there for. I called all the time that first year-they had a nurse on call that I would speak with.
I just got back from my daughter's 2 mo checkup this morning. My ped wrote .4 ml or half a dropper on her sheet. (She is 11 pounds but I think .4 ml is pretty standard). Hope this helps.
Congratulations on your new baby! Please be very careful about administering Tylenol to your baby. It can cause liver damage. It is not good for her at all. That beind said, poor baby might need something to help her cope with her shots. You need to know her weight to know her dosage. You should call your doctor's office to get their recommendation. Also, I would be remiss if I didn't mention that you should research vaccines personally if you haven't already so that you truly understand what you are injecting into your child. Aborted fetal cell lines including their DNA, aluminum, formaldahyde, mercury, among other toxic ingredients. It was many years after we had children before I heard any of this. I wish I had known years earlier. Nobody ever told me.
ASK YOUR PEDIATRICIAN! It is really based on her weight and any underlying health conditions. Don't go by anyone else.
I agree to ask your pedi. You can call and speak to a nurse.
Call and ask the Pediatrician.
Do NOT guess at it.
I agree call your pedi. You also may want to ask whether or not they recommend giving Tylenol after shots. My dr told me that there was a recent study which reported findings that Tylenol after shots lessens the effect of the vaccine.
I agree, talk to your pedi first. I honestly wouldn't her anything that young. But, for the future, here's a good chart.

Do you know how much she weighs? Then read the label and follow their guidelines closely. It depends upon which product you have. If you don't know her weight, then call the doctors office, as they can look it up for you too. There are too many brands for us to safely make a recommendation. But I want to add that I always gave my children infant Tylenol with their shots. My kids always ran a temp and had site swelling. And they are fine now.
It is by weight. Please call your pediatrician's office and ask. They will be able to give you the correct dosage.
It is weight based at that age. You need to call your pedi and ask.
Call the pediatrician! Also, you would probably want to give her the tylenol before the shots next time! Pediatricians are prepared to get calls at all hours of the day or night- they actually discuss that openly during their medical training. Call as often as you need to (but try to save the "middle of the night" calls for possible emergencies or real illness)!
