    Okay I just for home and got an infant advil...50mg of ibuprofen per 1.25mL. Do you need more pictures of her to help dosage?

    Do you have a syringe to administer?
    Are you ok with reading a syringe?

    Unfortunately I got rid of my syringes when she got off formula. But the ibuprofen came with one. It only reads .625mL, 1.25mL and 1.875mL. But if you give me the amount I think I'll be able to measure it pretty well.

    I believe I got it worked out... check your PM for dosing.

    On the outside chance, have you perhaps fed Romaine lettuce in the last few days?

    The reason I ask is that the CDC has a Nationwide alert out not to eat any Romaine lettuce, as a number of people have been hospitalized with E. coli. This source in particular has had previous warnings out last year also. Even if you feed a lettuce mix with Romaine in it the CDC says to dispose of it, along with any other source this lettuce touches.

    Symptoms may include diarrhea, intestinal cramping. and vomiting.
