The American Academy of Pediatrics gives the following tips for liquid medication safety.

  1. Always read the label to make sure the medicine is safe for infants and toddlers.
  2. Check the dosage chart to assure you are giving the correct amount based on child’s weight.
  3. Do not mix measuring devices from other products.
  4. Keep all medication up and away from children’s reach.
  5. Talk to your pediatrician if you have any questions.

Also remember… ALWAYS use a correct measuring device to give medicine to children. Utensil spoons do not accurately measure medication.
