1. The five minute rule.<\/strong><\/em> If the baby throws up within<\/strong><\/em> five minutes after giving the meds, then you have to give the same amount of meds you had him take before he threw up. If the baby throws up after<\/strong><\/em> five minutes then you are fine not to give him another dose for that specific time schedule.<\/p>\n

2. Wake a sleeping baby.<\/strong><\/em> If the pedia instructs you to give meds every 4-6-8-12 hour or so, do it, even if you have to wake up the baby. I know this may be very difficult since we usually want them to rest, but the pedia said the intervals should be followed.<\/p>\n

3. All about fever meds<\/strong>. Fever temp is 37.8 Celsius, and fever meds prescribed by your pedia should be administered to your baby as soon as he gets this temperature. IF<\/strong> on his next scheduled dose his temp dropped, give him the required dosage still UNTIL his fever is gone for twelve hours. on the next dose after the 12-hour period, and your baby’s temp is already below fever range, then you may stop administering your fever meds.<\/p>\n
