Does that look like the face of a happy, healthy boy to you? Poor guy has a fever... and so does mommy!
In our house, when fevers strike, the first reaction is to treat it with tylenol or motrin. Easy enough, right?
In order to make the correct decision I had to call the doctor. Can I give motrin to Zachary and take motrin myself? Would the baby get too much medicine from his dose, plus what he gets from my milk?
Her answer: Its fine for both of us to take the same medicine, just don't give him more than he should have.
Hopefully this will be useful to you one day or even more hopefully, you'll never be in this situation.
I'm sure you'll want to double check with your doctor if you ever find yourself in this scenario. :)
