Thanks ladies! Reading this I realized I have no idea if she ran a fever, but she looked fine.
lilyelayne I have heard that. Our doc mentioned giving it when I booked both appointments. He also said to use Advil vs Tylenol for teething. I didn't know it made much difference, but I guess it's because it's longer lasting so you give less? *shrugs*
Advil is an Nsaid (non steroidal anti-inflammatory) so it helps with the inflammation as well.
Our lo has mastered cheeking her meds and spitting out when we turn our heads so we can't get anything in her. Brat
I feel like we should have a 'What State Are You In?' Thread for those who would like to participate. I always forget what parts of the country(ies) people are in.

Damn. You ladies talking about Tylenol made me realize I forgot to snag it out of the diaper bag when I parked my car at work. It has been 3 hours and it is 90+ degrees in NC.
Would you make the walk to the parking lot to go get it? Also would you still use it?

I would still use it but thats just because i wouldnt even have thought about it being in the heat... because im that shit :/ I wonder how many near misses ive had because of this!
osumegs, LO does the same with his Vit D meds. But he LOVES the gas drops. Sometimes he has this disappointed/concerned look on his face when he realizes it's the vit D not the gas drop, haha. Cheeky little monkey.

babies under 6 mo ths can't have ibuprofen
When I read this I had a little freakout bc I gave LO advil after her 4 month shots. I just checked the instructions and it has dosage info for 4 months and up. Do you know something I don't know???

Ibuprofen/Advil is really hard on the kidneys. That's why it's not recommended.
michelle142, back when I used to dose DS, I'd always forget. I eventually moved the responsibility to DH, he's soooooo eager to dose DS. Every night DH comes home, barely thru the door he'd ask if I dosed DS yet. My only job is to to restock it when we're out and to wash the dropper nightly.

Do you ladies have a Whole Foods in your area? They have an Vitamin D option that is only one drop instead of a dropper full. It might even be organic.

If it makes you feel any better - I do 9 loads of wash between myself and the kids each week. Plus 2 loads of cloth diapers a week. DH, thankfully, washes his own clothes!

I think DH would kill me as soon as he walked in the door haha

DS managed to stay awake while being worn in Walmart & the drive home, only to fall asleep in his car seat in the living room while I put up groceries. Now it's our usual feeding time AND he was pressed up against my boobs for 30 minutes or so in Walmart so I'm so full of milk it's not even funny. Owieeee.
