Crying over giving my 6mo old Tylenol.
I gave in. She’s teething. Whining and doing the hard lip press. It’s bedtime. She did that for 30 mins. Add in some crying. At 8:00 I gave her 1.25ml of infant Tylenol. We’re not Tylenol/“cover up the pain” people but she hasn’t slept well this week and I felt horrible knowing she’s in pain/uncomfortable. My husband was a little upset, and I am too… I feel bad for giving her Tylenol to begin with but I felt worse not giving it to her.
Did I do the right thing? Help me not feel bad.
For reference, she’s 6 months old today and is probably around 14/15lbs. Her 6 month checkup is Tuesday.
