Is it OK to give nyquil to a 4 month old to make him sleep?

Question

My friend does it with her baby

Answer

I work with children. THIS scenario IS child abuse. Babies DIE this way.

Answer

If he isnt sleeping theres a reason for it.. Work out the reason .. Hunger, clingy etc

Answer

Please call cps, this will kill him or could leave him permanently damaged.

I'm a paramedic and my first cardiac arrest I ever worked was on a 1 year old because the parents did this. He did not live.

Please save that babies life!

Answer

No it's not ok and it's abuse. Your friend shouldn't have a baby.

Answer

NyQuil has alcohol in it. For all of that you could give your infant rum. <--- please don't do that. Try a warm bath and a nice relaxing baby massage. After being fed, played with, and washed babies are relaxed and he might sleep better.

Answer

WTF! No?!

Answer

Is it possible for you to report this person? They are putting that baby in serious danger

Answer

I've never looked into this but common instinct tells me no...... There's a reason they aren't sleeping you shouldn't just medicate it away

Answer

Noo my grandma had a friend who gave her baby nyquil to sleep & the baby passed away! Do not do it! Call child services immediately .

Answer

No please don't do that! Is the baby up crying? If the baby seems to be in distress I would hold him, Rock him try doing things to make him feel more comfortable if that didn't work and baby just up crying I would take him to the doctor but if baby just up playing and won't sleep and seem to be ok you have no worries baby will eventually fall asleep but certainly don't give a 4 month old any over the counter meds unless told by doctor to do so...
