Ok! I am a really bad administrator for this site and I apologize! I haven't had access to a computer for about a month and a half. I can only get online at work, and I have been on maternity leave. Well, I'm back to work so I'm back to Circle of Mom's!
Anyways, I have an important message to forward on that I have just received so please read below!

So what about,

Concentrated Tylenol Infants' Drops contains Acetaminophen Grape 1FL OZ

Is there any difference in the concentrated drops and other ones?

Thanks,

Val

I saw this on another group. I've checked on of our bottles and it's safe, but the other is in an unused diaper bag and Savannah was already asleep so it will have to wait until tomorrow.

Thanks for sending this out. The tylenol infant drops that I have fall under this category. I will call them on Monday to see what I have to do to.

The info that they first put out said that only the inhailed/nasal forms of the med pose a threat of any kind. They claimed that even if some of the bacteria had reached the oral products, the stomach would easily kill it (as with natural bacterias in normal food). Overall it did sound like a good thing to check out, but not to panic over or to expect any real issues from. Some good news at least.
