You see it printed at the end of every section on childhood ailments in your baby manual …you also find it listed on all of the medicine bottles that you possess. Yes, that notorious phrase that you read when in need of pertinent information for caring for your little one: "Please consult your pediatrician"
Don’t you hate that? Well, I do. Nobody likes being a pest . Nobody likes calling the pediatrician in the middle of the night as he groggily answers the phone to say…"Uh…Hey Dr. ______, it’s me again. I hope this isn’t a bad time (*nervous laugh*). Um…my son is running a fever, so I was wondering how much Tylenol I should I give him. The bottle said to consult a pediatrician"…
This past week I was busily trying to keep my 8-month old’s high fever down. Well, after about two days of this high fever we took him to the doctor.
While there, his pediatrician gave me a VERY helpful little chart…something I’ve been wishing I had since the first time he got a fever!
The Medicine Measurement Chart!
Yep, this is the same info the doc will tell you in the middle of the night when you call him for help. What a blessing! My doc was so kind and said, "By the way, here’s a helpful little chart for your files. This is the info about infant baby medicine measurements that they’re talking about when you read the back of the bottle…just in case you were wondering" . Thank you, Doc! So, since there are many young mothers out there who could benefit, I thought I should link a copy for you. So, here you go!

I will be making copies of this, scanning it into my computer, and making sure that it’s filed away safe and sound for when future needs arise
