Aloha Betsy,

We had a bout of the pinworms a few years ago.  My four year old was a
toddler at the time---not yet 2.  Our ped. prescribed vermox for her.  It was
a bit difficult getting it into her, but we managed.  I also took it as well
and continued to nurse.

The post to Dr. Hale that Pat Gima pulled up for you concerned a mom I was
helping who had a baby about 4 or 5 months old.  Mom went ahead and took
vermox and continued to nurse with no side effects.

You might want to check out herbal remedies as well.  A friend of mine told
me that cabbage had antiparasitic properties.

Hope this helps.
Aloha,
Gloria Thai  O'ahu, Hawai'i, 20 degrees North of the equator
