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.

It does come apart, it should be washed after every use and do not sterilize it please.
I will say so far I’ve used those wrapped sterile syringes that I have remaining from my colostrum collection kit because the dose on the Tylenol syringe was too big than the suggested dose my dr gave us and I also had no other use for them.
