Another reason to avoid chldren's fever reducers...

I was looking at the ingredients for Tylenol and motrin - both of the standard children's formula's have Red Dye #40, which we try to avoid, in them, so I was trying to find a dye-free one. We don't typically use either of them, but with flu season coming, and Nora not nursing anymore (yes, I'm a bit nervous because this is my first winter with a non-nursing child), I wanted to make sure we are prepared. Well, turns out Children's motrin and tylenol both have sucralose in them! Sucralose is Splenda, and I have a big sensitivity to the stuff (nasty migraines). I have no idea if my kids will have the same reaction, but I would imagine they could, and might not be able to tell me. I would feel awful if they got a migraine because I tried to lower their fever! I think we'll try and stick to natural remedies!
