Went looking for infant Tylenol this evening. Couldn’t find any anywhere. Are people hoarding that now?

Didn’t you hear? Infant Tylenol is a primary component in the massive power of the Jewish space lasers.

For what it’s worth, I just saw an article stating that the only difference between Infant Tylenol and Children’s Tylenol is the syringe cap. Hope that helps.

Infant and children’s Tylenol are the same dosage. As someone else stated, the syringe opening is smaller on the infant.

We picked up some store brand at target yesterday for our 1 year old. As others have said, the childrens’ is the same concentration, just doesn’t come with the syringe. We typically get the childrens and have been using that for months but needed an extra syringe to bring to my in-laws.
If you get the childrens, pop the cap out and you can stick the string down into the medicine.

I haven’t read this article, but I heard the topic in NPR recently so just grabbed the first one that popped up in google: https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-63656978.amp
It seems there is a shortage of children’s OTC pain meds in Canada. The radio piece mentioned many people are crossing the border to find some. For what it’s worth, a bunch of stores are out in Portland, Maine as well.
Good luck finding some or a different solution! Perhaps drive south and try a few different spots

I was at the grocery store the other week and over heard a lady from Canada say she was down here trying to find it. Being a parent and not being able to find the medication to give you little one some relief…. I felt for her.

If your pediatrician says Children's Motrin is acceptable, I just checked and Costco has that available.
From what I've been told by a pharmacy manager and our doctors, cold and flu-related meds are in high demand this year because of RSV, the flu going around, and still COVID, so there are going to be shortages. We had a bad cold pass through our house, and after it was determined not to be COVID after multiple tests, we were told just to stay home and rest. For a week, I was burning through Mucinex and Advil until we felt well enough to get to Costco who had plenty.

Look for children’s Tylenol

The kind with no kids.

Absolutely check concentration and cut Children's Tylenol dose as necessary for the weight. Hope the little one feels better!

I don't mean to sound glib, but things have been in and out of stock for a while now, and will continue to be for a bit. EVERYTHING can be affected by this.
