What is the Tylenol by weight calculator for infants?
From birth up to 23 months, which typically corresponds to 6-23 lbs, Tylenol recommends using one product, the Infants’ Tylenol oral suspension, and adhering to your doctor’s specific instructions.
Always consult your child’s Sellwood Medical Clinic doctor to make sure it’s safe to give them Tylenol or any other medication during their first two years of life.
