15mg Tylenol (acetaminophen) per kg: The dose for tylenol (acetaminophen) is 15mg of the medicine for each kg that the baby weighs. So, a 4 kg baby would take 60mg of tylenol (acetaminophen). If using pounds, then the dose of tylenol (acetaminophen) is 7mg per pound of baby. So, a 9 lb baby would take 63mg of tylenol (acetaminophen) (but just round down to 60mg of medicine).

10mg/kg: The recommended dose of tylenol (acetaminophen) is about 10 mg/kg. If the kid is 6 kg that would be 60 mg .The volume will depend on what concentration of medication you are using.Check the bottle & adjust the dose based on the strength f the medication.
