Giving children's Tylenol is fine as long as it's the right dose. You would go by your babies weight. Here is a chart. http://www.tylenol.com/page.jhtml?id=tylenol/children/subchild.inc
With infants tylenol you give .4 for 6-11 lbs .8 for 12-17lbs, 1.2 for 18-23 lbs and 1.6 for 24-35 lbs.
With children's tylenol you give 1/4 tsp for 6-11lbs, 1/2 tsp for 12-17lbs, 3/4 tsp for 18-23lbs and 1 tsp for 24-35lbs.
The difference between the 2 is that infants is concentrated so that you have less to give the baby.
