I have a two month old. And she weighs 11 pounds 11 Oz. If I give her Tylenol before bed every night to help her sleep (which I've been doing for a few days now) will it hurt her later in life? And will it affect her sleep schedule. Will she depend on it later?

Do not give this medicine to a child younger than 2 years old without the advice of a doctor.

you already have a gut feeling this is not a good idea....always go with your maternal instincts. What worked for me was the 5 minute rule. In the night when she wakes let her cry 5 minutes she may go back to sleep within this time. To me the 5 minutes seemed like hours....but it did work. If she is still crying after the 5 minutes she does need something important.....warm milk and warm bath before bed are also helpful and being burped well to avoid belly ache.... Congrats on your new baby girl
