Guest guest Posted February 1, 2010 Report Share Posted February 1, 2010 Is there a dosage based on weight vs age...? For example my 9 year old child is the size of a three or four year old. We typically take that into consideration when dosing non-critical things...but with meds we go strictly with weight...(he has dwarfism). Thanks, > > Hey -the good news is that at least you are seeing something -increase in babble, affection, mouth exploration -not bad. > What is the age of your child, how long have you been using it and what dosage do you have your child on? I know Gretchen's ped said only one scoop for a 4 year old but I do hope that he is aware that the dosages on the label are per 2 scoops and that most would find it fine to have a 4 year old on 2 scoops a day. Here are the dosages > > Birth to three - one scoop a day (can be split into half scoop twice a day) > Four to Eight -two scoops a day (can be split into 1 scoop twice a day) > Nine and up to adult -can take up to four scoops a day -recommended to split 2 scoops 2x a day. > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
