I agree with the delivery room.  Perhaps also before urine tests that need to be extremely clear.  Maybe even for keeping clean after baby is born.

It is correct that 5ml=1tsp. So, almost 1 tsp. After this dose, I suggest you go to the store and buy or ask a different pharmacy for a measuring spoon for infants. It is a plastic spoon that you fill with medicine. It is in ml's. It is much easier to use and will make you feel more careful.

My son is 10 moths old and I'm still nursing him.  I love the bond between us.  I don't plan to take it from him any time soon. My sis has a 2 year old and weemed her at 2 on her b-day.  The more you nurse them the more the protection lasts.  I never gave my son a bottle.  Now he eats solid foods and and drinks water out of a sippy cup.  I nurse him when he wants and to go to sleep.  Just let time take it's course.  She'll let yo know when she's ready to weem.

THANK YOU, MORE_EVIL!!!!!! Finally, someone uses some common sense with their answer to an immunization question. They told me in the hospital they do it because they don't know if I had it or not, which was insulting considering I've been married to the same man for 13 yrs. I refused it. But, yes, they do give it, at birth, 2 months and 6 months. \n   For your question, something caused my cousin to die at 4 months, it was written off as SIDS, but she died within 48 hours of receiving shots. I'm not sure which one it was. I know of three other infants who died with hours of their shots, too. It does happen, that's why I don't do them.\nHere's what I found on the possible side effects.\n\n"serious allergic reaction involving swelling of the mouth, breathing difficulties, low blood pressure, hives, weakness, an increased heart rate, dizziness and shock. If your child has any of these symptoms, call 911 or take her to an emergency room.

Unfortunately this is going on in the US right now which to me is a farce-  They should be obligated to fill any type of prescription, no matter what it is.  If I am not mistaken this has mostly gone on in Walmarts around the country.  Unfortunately this goes on in the nursing field also- I have seen nurses refusing to care for someone who just went through an abortion procedure in the hospital.

Not if they are prescribed to them. It depends how old the kid is, but it should be up to the parent to question the prescribing physician as to why their child is on the drug, and what the risks are Vs. the benefits.

Not all docs have all samples at the same time.  They have whatever a drug reps have left with them.  Next time don't wait for the doc to offer samples.  There is nothing wrong with asking for samples.  All they can do is say no.  I, for one, do not approve of the whole sample world.  Drug reps tend to leave  samples for things that are new and expensive.  Items they want lots of patients started on. It's kind of like a street drug dealer.  The first few are free then you're hooked.  A lot of new drugs are not any better than older ones.  They are either combination products or "me too" drugs.  Ask the doctor if he/she is prescribing a newer therapy that is expensive and without generics.   If so, would a cheaper or generic item do the trick???  You pay docs more per hour than probably anyone else on the planet.  You are allowed to asked questions and disagree.  I do think samples muddy the water a little to alot.  They should not influence  what is to be prescribed.

I have worked with insurances at a doctors office for 5 years and have had very similar problems to this.  The insurance company should not have a problem filling the correct dosage prescription if your doctor's office calls and explains the situation.  I've never seen it be a problem in my experience.  Good luck.

Its really not safe to give that without consulting a doctor.. if you can't reach a doctor call your local pharmacy.. i do it all thetime for my kids... just give the age, weight, and problem.. they will give you a safe dose.. but please as a doctor first....\n\nmy sons doctor doesn't like to give ibuprofen.. she prefers only tylonol for children under 2

1. See the doctor.\n2. Change the formula.\n3. Don't give any strange substances to a small baby without first consulting with a health professional.

You're OBGYN knows best. She or he wouldnt be prescribing htings that would harm the baby. Go ahead and help yourself get out of pain, take the vicodin that was prescribed. Hope this helps!!! Hope you feel better fast!

You need to get an opinion from botn a nephrologist and an ob-gyn, not us bunch of losers.  Having a baby can be rough on a fragile body.

It could be just the process of growing and if he's a very active little guy, it could be understandable.  But just to be on the safe side, I would take him to a pediatrician or at least call the pediatricin and talk to them about it.  Never hurts to get the little ones "checked-out" from time to time.

please read the link. (pay little attention to the drug they r selling, just read the article).\ndude! dont give yr kid meds, he/she will be a braindead moron by the time he/she is 18 if u do that.\ndont let the docs brainwash u, remember that they get paid for prescribing this crap.\nyour child's brain is developing and u r giving him/her drugs? smart...seriously, just have some extra patience for the child, sign him/her up for some sports of other activities which will enable the child to use up all the extra energy.\nwe are slowly becoming a nation of drug-addicts, dont do that to your child.  no other nation abuses prescriptions meds like we do for our lack of concrete knowledge about what these chemicals are doing to our long-term health.\nmaybe even take your child to meditation classes to help him/her deal with lack of concentration.
