Carefully check the labels of all other medicines you are using, because they may also contain acetaminophen. It is not safe to use more than 4 grams (4,000 milligrams) of acetaminophen in one day (24 hours), as this may increase the risk for serious liver problems. Shake the oral suspension well before each use. Measure the medicine with a marked measuring spoon, oral syringe, or medicine cup.
Almost 1 of every 10 infants born in the United States are premature, or preemies. A premature birth is when a baby is born before 37 completed weeks of pregnancy. A full-term pregnancy is 40 weeks. Important growth and development happen throughout pregnancy - especially in the final months and weeks. Because they are born too early, preemies weigh much less than full-term babies.
The number of weeks your baby was premature: 6 weeks. Subtract the number of weeks premature from the chronological age: 20 weeks minus 6 weeks equal 14 weeks. 14 weeks is your baby's adjusted age.
