Question 1

i have a 9 month old baby girl. i accidentally bought children's acetametiphen instead of infant's. do i need to go exchange it or is there a dosage appropriate for infants?

Accepted Answer

No need to return: The concentration found in childrens Acetaminophen can most certainly be used in infants.  The infants concentration is actually currently being phased off of the market.  The amount to be given is weight dependent.  Acetaminophen is dosed at 15mg/kg/ dose.  So, i would need to know childs weight.  A 20 lb baby would get 4 ml every 4- 6 hours.

Question 2

food for a 9 month old infant?

Accepted Answer

Food in infant: After 4 months of age it is safe to introduce all foods into an infant diet, but their are caveats. Only 1-2 new foods per week, and slowly at that to ensure no adverse reactions. Breast feeding is still recommended as 1st for first 4-6 months. If the child has eczema, there is a higher rate of food hypersensitivity. If unsure, speak with an allergist.

Question 3

can a 9 month old infant eat tuna?

Yes, but...: In a healthy 9-month-old no food, including tuna, needs to be delayed to reduce allergies (in fact, feeding may reduce allergies). Great omega-3s in tuna, but watch out for accumulating mercury, especially during first 3 years. Wild salmon is a better first fish. If choose tuna: small, infrequent portions. And 'light' tuna better than 'white'. Some brands have lower mercury (smaller fish) options.
