At what age

can LOs start using Motrin? DS is teething BADLY now to the point that only Tylenol seems to help. I hate giving him Tylenol all the time. I'd like to be able to alternate the Motrin and Tylenol but can't remember when the pedi gives the OK.

    Our pedi really only wants us using Tylenol, and even then, he isn't that crazy about it. But I believe it's 6 months. And BTW, your siggy is beautiful!

    our pedi gave us the go ahead for motrin/ibuprofen at our 6 month checkup. He actually recommended it because it lasts 6 hours instead of 4 so you're not redosing LO all day.

    6 months here as well.  When they're in pain, ibuprofen is typically better than acetaminophen because it reduces inflammation and acetominophen (Tylenol) doesn't.
