They definitely have Children's Advil! We went through it fast...I swear one dose is like half a bottle! Have you found that ibuprofen works best for teething? We've been using acetimetaphine too on occasoion. Can't decide what's best. And, Costco doesn't have that for some reason.
I think Motrin works better and our pedi recommended it over Tylenol so that's what we go with.
So, I send DH out last night for Infants' Ibuprofen at 2a.m. He comes back with Children's Ibuprofen, which says for children 2 and over. DH's argument was that the weight was right. DS weighs 25 lbs. So, I start reaming him but then google whether I can administer Children's Ibuprofen. askdrsears.com gives a dosage chart and it says that if you do not have Infants' Ibuprofen, go ahead and use Children's. And Children's = Way Cheaper for Way More Medicine
Here is the dosage chart. This ought to save us quite a bit of money...

I go by weight too. our pedi told us a long time ago ( we were giving ds benadryl) when we used something labeled for 2 and up that it's more accurate to dose based on weight.
Re: Does Costco Sell Infants' Ibuprofen in Bulk?
Oh, good! I'll have to hit Costco tomorrow - Yes, the bottle runs out after what seems like only 4 or 5 doses.
