Well, yes. Still, it was sort of the last thing that really seemed to work that we could do for our little kids.
Honestly, i'm not sure that this result should or would change the behavior of many parents. But i a) have really believed that my kids will benefit more from sleep and being comfortable than with the benefits of avoiding Tylenol, so i use it, and b) am somewhat paranoid about asthma, especially with W who is an awfully wheezy baby considering his overall robustness. I never considered getting ibuprofen for my kids because of the latter issue.
Plus, in all honesty, the only medication i've taken for the last 5 years or so is Tylenol, and some Tums. I don't suppose that it is really behind my increased asthma symptoms, but, it gives me something to think about.
And something to research when i'm done researching the link between asthma and eclampsia.
