Motrin or Tylenol? What's your preference for baby?

Question

Answer

Key thing here is how old is the child. Motrin should not be given to a baby younger than 6 months of age. So.... Tylenol until 6 months after that you can actually give both.

6+ months old:

Tooth pain no fever give Motrin every
6-8 hours

Tooth pain with fever Motrin then 3 hours later Tylenol. Then 3 hours later Motrin.... rinse and repeat till fever has broke then stick with just the Motrin every 6-8 hours.

Crabby baby with a fever? Same as the dosage plan above. Every 3 hours rotating.

Tylenol is great for fevers. Motrin is best for pain. Hope this helps.

Answer

If the baby is under 6 months, they can't have Motrin.

Answer

I like Motrin because the dose tends to be every 6-8 hours, instead of every 4 hours like Tylenol. So particularly for overnight it lasts longer, as that's when fevers tend to spike.
