Guest guest Posted January 10, 2004 Report Share Posted January 10, 2004 I would give the 5 yr old a dropperful in some apple juice, 3 times a day if there is a cold, flu, sinus... if no change in a couple days, up it to 2 dropperfuls for a couple days. The 2 yr old - I would go with 1/2 dropperful... This is what I do... My grandson is 8 months.... of course he was getting his thru mom as she was breast feeding... Below I gave you the 150 rule for tinctures... however with TT being total "food" product I treat it differently... You'll probably hear from some others that have little ones and what they do also. Suzi Here is the "150 rule"... Take a person's weight and put that figure over 150. Reduce the resultant fraction down to its smallest common denominator and you have your dosage. I never go by age as that is too uncertain. You may have a six month old who weighs 15 lbs or 30 lbs depending on genetic makeup, health, etc. I would give these two babies totally different dosages though I might start both on just one drop of a tincture. Using the above rule, it would work out this way:Baby #1 @ 15 lbs would get this dosage. 15/150 reduces to 1/10th the normal dosage.Baby #2 @ 30 lbs would get this dosage. 30/150 reduces to 1/5th the normal dosage. When it comes to babies and the elderly who are really sick, I will test "one drop" on the patients tongue to see if there is any adverse reaction first, and if none, will work up to the above formula dosages usually within the first day, always monitoring as I go along and increasing the dosage. I've given Cayenne to very young children starting with drops and ending with dropperfuls to tremendous results. irmadoodle <irma16 wrote: My girls are 5(in Feb.) and 2 1/2.
