Good news! How do you safely develop medications for babies?

This particular one is mostly about dosing, the available medicines were weight based, with lowest dosages in the 5-15kg range. This brings dosages lower allowing more precise dosing for the lighter babies.

Edit: it's a very welcome addition. Limits side effects.
