Can I give my 3 month old Vitamin C drops?
Answer:
I would ask you Dr. If he is getting enough Vit C he shouldn't need it. And if the Dr. says yes he will tell you the right amount to give him. Even though he is a little guy his immune system is very good. That is if he was healthy at birth.
If he is getting a stuffy nose, just sit in the bathroom with him and turn the hot water on so it gets steamy in there. That always help my kids. They also make Vicks vapor rub for babies now, works real well.
Good luck, hope he gets better. :)
And to Hornball...she could be a new mother leave her alone. Its better to ask for advice, then to not ask at all and have a bad out come. :(
yes ask doctor also to see how much
I would not give him anything until you ask his doctor. If you have to call the doctor's office 30 times, then so be it. It is better to be safe then sorry.
read the label of the packaging, you cant really trust medical advice on here. Ask your doctor
What does the bottle say? I remember giving my son vit. drops in his bottle, but it taste real nasty
I THINK SO JUST A SMALL DOSE THOUGH.
IT SHOULDN'T HURT HIM.
Only give him what the doctor recommends. Do not ever experiment with your child. When my kids were little, I ran a hot steam vaporizer day and night when they had colds and that gave them breathing relief. Anything else, ask your doctor.
I would definately ask your Pediatrician first. Some things are not safe until a year old and that might be one of them. Good Luck
Yes vitamin c is water soluble and whatever your body doesnt need comes out in your urine.
What the Pediatrician said? ...I wouldn't give my tiny baby no drugs ,not even vitamin C . I though that school kids and grown ups take vitamins to prevent from catching cold..
You said you had spoken with a pediatrician what did the doctor say?I have a feeling that you were told not to give your baby vitamin C or you wouldn't be on here asking this question.
No I would not give a baby below the age of 1 year vitamin C.
To much vitamin C will cause gas and what have you, his formula and vitamins should have it in there. I would definately talk it over with the doctor.
my son got sick around that age and his doctor prescribed him drops so i don't see how it could hurt if a doctor will prescribe them.
