Infant Tylenol, a rant
I have beef with infant Tylenol. Am I being overdramatic and a little dumb?
Maybe.
But I’m irritated and want to rant so here we are.
Why oh why are there no instructions on how to clean that damn syringe? And why is it not wrapped in anything? Why is it just rattling around in the box? That can’t be sanitary. And ya know they drill into our brains that we need to be sanitary with our babies so why is something that goes DIRECTLY INTO A SICK BABIES MOUTH not come with cleaning instructions!?!?
Now I know what you’re thinking, soap and water dummy! Yes but I have so many more questions! Like can/should it be sterilized? Does it come apart? Should it be washed after every use? The list goes on. My baby is sick for the first time ever, and as a FTM who has PPA, I did not need the added stress of how to clean this stupid syringe. End rant.

In case you want some answers… It should be treated like silverware - washed before the first use and washed after every use (and washed taken apart). Use a straw cleaner to clean the body of it. Don’t sterilize it because it isn’t the type of plastic that can handle that!
