You can give baby Tylenol (acetaminophen) every 4 to 6 hours as needed, but do not give more than 5 doses in a 24-hour period. This applies to both Infants’ and Children’s TYLENOL products. Always use the dosing device that comes with the medicine to ensure the correct amount is given based on your baby’s age and weight
. Key points:
- Dose every 4 hours for Infants’ and Children’s TYLENOL while symptoms last.
- For regular strength tablets, the dose can be given every 4-6 hours.
- Maximum of 5 doses in 24 hours.
- Consult your healthcare provider if your baby is under the age indicated on the package or if symptoms persist.
- Use only the provided syringe or dosing cup to measure doses accurately
If your baby spits up within 20 minutes of a dose, you can give another dose; otherwise, wait 4-6 hours before the next dose
. For babies under 3 months or weighing less than 24 pounds, always check with a pediatrician before giving Tylenol
. In summary, follow the dosing instructions carefully: give every 4 to 6 hours as needed, do not exceed 5 doses in 24 hours, and consult your pediatrician with any concerns.
