| Allergies maybe? My girls have terrible allergies this time of year. They will scratch & bite the hair off their back until they are bald We always end up at the vet for a cortisone shot. My vet does recommend bathing them in oatmeal shampoo & giving them children's Benadryl for the itching. Hope your baby feels better soon!!! Pam |

| wow 2 months is young! it depends on how much he weighs. It is 1 ml per 5 lbs. However Layla is a bit over 5 lbs and i only give her 1/2 ml. So if he is 3 lbs... give him a bit less than 1/2 ml... you can go to the pharmacy and ask for an eye dropper... which should have ml on it.... or it might say cc... which is the same |
