I dunno I got infant drops of motrin, I use for joseph but hes 17 mths but they r infant drops not childrens

I was told not to give infants motrin until they're 6 months old.

But if your doctor said it was ok then I guess you could try it. A lot of people say it's more effective than tylenol.

I wouldn't give children's motrin to her. She's too young. I'd go and get some tempra or infant drops.

I just started giving trey children's meds because of his weight he is big enought to take children's instead of infant stuff.

I only used .Calpol as a pain reliver....It is made specifically for infants 0-3 months.

As far as over the counter pain relivers / fever reducers and cold medicines if it wasn't made specifically for infants I never used it.

Okay, that's all I wondered was if anyone else had used it. I didn't know they made infants motrin.. I'll have to look for that the next time I get to town.

I think .I'm going to stick with the infants tylenol, it seems to work just fine for her

.Thanks so much ladies!!

yepp they do hehe I just used it on joseph this morning cuz he had a slight fever and hes been teething. And I had to check and look and it is infants its the infant drops , pretty much same as the infant tylenol drops. I mean they both look the same the containers etc.

i think the motrin ones are for 3months though.

.Okay, & the doctor said the motrin would probably work better than tylenol? Hmm... I'm gonna definetly look into it...

Kaylee 3 1/2 months, will be 4 months on .February 5th :d

If her dr. said it was fine...Than it's not going to hurt her.

There is no way a Dr. Would tell a mother to do something that would harm her child. No way.

Why take the risk of mal practice??

Sarah

but then again, that's why mal practice exists.

You're right....But, everyone on here has a *different* Dr.

And everyone thinks *their* Dr. Knows all.

If one Dr. Prefers one med over another, it's not *my* job to tell her other wise.

I'll leave that to the dr.S.

Oh, foxy! That medicne you were talking about, they don't sell it in the states anymore. Is it available where you are? Let me know! I'd def pay any amount of money to get it!

Sarah

6 months and up says under 6 mth consult a dr

for the billionth time, so not true.
Medical books say not to use it under 6 months, deaths have occured, as well as stomach bleeding. Doctors can and will be wrong, many times.

I didn't want to start another post full of arguing

.I'm not gonna give her any motrin, if anything I think the next time I get to town .I'll probably pick up some just so I have it here.

.Michelle

.Sorry if this post is gonna turn nasty over my questions

pm me with your address and stuff and i'll ship it to you.....It costs like $7 a bottle over here, i'll get the correct $ amt and let you know.
