Maams Good evening.
Pls I need advice on cough medication for a 8 month old baby.

My daughter had cough earlier and the doc informed us that children under 2 are not given cough medications.
My BIL informed me that a nurse informed them that TUTOLIN can be used for children above 5months and they have paid the nurse for the syrup which they want to administer on my daughter.

Pls advise as I can't get an appointment with her paed till next week.

If your baby can finish it at once that's ok but mine does not so I keep what's left in the freezer for the following day.Can only use it 24 hrs after opening sha(it's written in the pack)

Gufday mamas trust our lovelies are doing great.
Experienced moms wats d difference between pcm syrup and pcm dropper.my baby took her 6 weeks vaccine today.d nurse said to give 2.5 ml paracetamol.and there's noting like dat on d dropper i have.do I buy anoda pcm..her body is hot nd shes been crying since morning.pls help a ftm
Drop is more concentrated than the syrup. It's either you give her 0.3ml to 0.6ml(depending on her weight) from d dropper, it's calibrated there or you give 2.5ml of regular paracetamol syrup. Cheers

@Goldmine,thanks for the detailed explaination,i will work on the daytime sucking because he doesnt suck after sleeping at night till daybreak if we dont sleep on the same bed. He has a way of knowing if am not on the bed and he wont wake up at all but if i am he wakes up severally. I appreciate.

This is not gerber yogurt. Its gerber fruit puree.
Please see image attached.
Gerber yogurt has 4 different fruit flavours and one for sitter and the other blend for toddlers.

its 4 in a pack and its sold for 1,300 though i've seen it at 1500 in some shops.
I stopped buying it in February when i noticed all the gerber yoghurt blend snacks in shops will expire in March.
I'm yet to see one with an extended date, so please be mindful of that when buying.

@tatacherie, d dropper gives an exact measurement of drugs for babies. For d syrup, each 5mls usu contains 125mg of pcm, so 2.5mls ll b 62.5mls. For f dropper, each 1ml contains 100mg of pcm. Wot to gv shld depend on baby's wt, but its usu said to gv 0.3mls to newborn

Oh really? i'd keep checking for the ones with extended expiry date. My daughter loves the yoghurt blend, she doesnt take the purees no matter how i force her. To make her take fruits, i just puree a particular fruit and add to her cereal. That way she doesnt notice.

Mamas, i hope i'm on the right track? i started giving my dd tea (toddler milk and milo) and she's taking it so well. She clocked 1 few days ago.

Not sure but i started at 6 months to avoid stories that touch. Is your baby already sitting? because its stated for sitters.

I guess its your location, cos similac is every around me. It's enfamil thats even a scarce commodity. Since you can afford similac, then check for enfamil, aptamil or SMA gold. My baby didnt accept nan1 but she accepted enfamil. well done.

U can only get PCV and rotavirus in private hospitals not at the health centers nor govt hospitals. Group Christain Medical Centre @ Mosheshe Estate on airport road gives it, so also Lily Hospital, Capitol Hill, etc
