Opinion wanted: does this mean from the second week of life in the sense that the child is over 1 week old, or does it simply mean "over 2 weeks old", in that this is counting from the end of the second week of life?

: that would be "in der 2. Woche" not "ab" - from the second week onwards//Scuse me, even before you get a chance to comment, but let me change that disagree to agree. I jumped the gun. It probably does mean after the beginning of the second week.

: infants more than two weeks of age was my instinctive thought too but, on inebriated reflection, I now agree with JL.

Discussion
Kinder, Kleinkinder und Saeuglinge ab der zweiten Lebenswoche erhalten im Allgemeinen eine Tagesdosis von 150 mg pro kg Koerpergewicht, aufgeteilt in Einzeldosen alle 6 bis 8 Stunden.
However, I have just found the answer in the subsequent text:
Neugeborene erhalten in der ersten Lebenswoche 75 mg pro Kg Koerpergewicht pro Tag.
That means the other infants are over 1 week old.
