What dosage to give?

[ladybird11]

DD2 is 9 wks old and weighs 6.5 kg's.

On the packet of baby panadol it says to give xx amount to 1 mth to 3 mth old weighing between 3-6 kg's; and give a slightly higher dosage to a 3 mth to 6 mth old weighing between 6-9 kg's.

As u can see DD2 is in both categories so I figured her weight would be the presiding figure and gave her the higher dosage.

Was that the right thing to do?

Thats what the health nurse told me to do - Give H the higher end as he is a big bub for his age (3 months and 9kgs!) so I think you dod the perfect thing!

You did the right thing hun. Always go by weight rather than age
