Thread: Please can you help with a quick medical conversion for my child ?

1. I have a 1/2 TSB measuring spoon.
2. The OTC calls for 2 tsp or 10 ml for the weight I am using.
[3. I am going by weight and not age, thereby being on the safe side just in case (her age on the chart calls for 2.5 tsp or 12.5 ml).]
I didn't want her to drink out of a stained or tarnished measurer that is more precise...no matter how much it was cleaned, it still looked nasty (bleh).

4. How many 1/2 TBS spoons do I need? Or do I need to fill up the 1/2 TBS measurer halfway?

1 tablespoon equals 3 teaspoons. If you have a 1/2 tsb, then that's 1.5 tsp.
It would be 1 full tablespoon plus a little more than another half.
