Childrens Motrin

Hey everyone, I was just wondering
something. At .Kaylee's doctors
appointment the other day, they told me
that instead of using .Infant .Tylenol for
her when she's hurting from teething, I
could use a 1/2 a teaspoon of .Childrens
.Motrin. I haven't used it & I
probably won't but I just wanted to get
some other peoples opinions on this &
see if any of you have used it? Thanks a
lot.
.Michelle

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!!

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??

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

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.
