My MIL gave my son aspirin!
I had a dr. appt today and my oldest ds had a fever, so I sent him over to my inlaws during the appt. Well he felt hot to her, so she called my hubby and asked if she could give him baby aspirin. Well dh thought she meant tylonol, as we've never even had aspirin in the home

Re: My MIL gave my son aspirin!
Scary! I didn't even know they made aspirin for babies anymore. He will probably be fine if it's just a one time thing.

Re: My MIL gave my son aspirin!
They do have-and call it-Baby aspirin but it's not meant for babies. Could that be anymore confusing?!

Calm down. Most of us grew up taking aspirin. It's not a big deal to have taken it once and it does help bring down fevers

Re: My MIL gave my son aspirin!
Myself and everybody I know or have ever known grew up with asprin only. There was no motrin, there was no children's tylenol.
Asprin is not poison, it's not at all likely that your child would develop Reye's syndrom. There are other factors that go with it, he'd have to have the underlying metabolic disorder, AND have the flu, or chicken Pox too. Also, when my daughter would get "growing pains" at night (leg pain) I always gave her baby asprin. I trust baby asprin for typical pain, just not chicken pox.
