i give my charge ritalin on the days that she may need another dose. she takes 3 doses during the school day and if she is having a hard time settling after school and doing hw, I am to give another dose with dinner. OP, some medicines you have to be trusting that your nanny can exercise good judgement about. I once had an MB who did not want me to administer "meds". I put that in quotes because [b]she did not want me to give orajel on the gums.[/b] So, for 12 hrs her child was screaming in pain because she would not trust me to dole out baby ibuprofen.  :roll: If you had not had an agreement with her before, she may not have thought twice about it. When you have a nanny, the idea is that she will care for your children as her own and sometimes that involves making decisions without contacting you. If you have a serious issue with it, you need to tell her that you want to be consulted before any medicine is given. That will be a bit of a hassle if you are for example not answering your phone, or not available so you need to think about this. If you trust this person with your child, you should be able to trust that she won't overdose your child on tylenol. good luck! [/quote]

According to my MB, there have been studies saying that baby orajel can cause too much numbness in the mouth and cause babies to choke. I'm pretty sure that's only if you use too much of it, but she never wanted it in the house. The teething process was HORRIBLE.[/quote]
