    Oh, good!  I'll have to hit Costco tomorrow - Yes, the bottle runs out after what seems like only 4 or 5 doses.

    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.
