So my baby has Ashtma and we need to use the inhaler Med on her. Instructions are 1 puff every 12 hours. My brain can’t math so when are the best times? I work M-F and have to leave by 6:30am and get home till 5:20pm. Occasionally my husband is home depending on schedule.

If you can do it at 6 or so before you leave, and then a little after you get home it will be fine. If she refuses to cooperate, I put them in a carrier, cover it with a light sheet or blanket, and spray it in the doorway under the cover. She will breathe it in that way. The worst thing there is getting them in the carrier. I found standing it up door up and open on top and quickly lowering them in works well. I only have to use the inhaler on my boy 'as needed' now, which is infrequent. Good luck!

If it is approximately 12 hours that’s fine. Depending on the severity of the asthma you may be able to go to once a day when it is under control.
