Motrin is better because it lasts longer but you can only give it when your baby is older than 6 months.

I heard somewhere that Motrin is safer than Tylenol from a natural health perspective, but I have no idea.

What works best, is alternating motrin & tylonel every 3 hours.
Refua sheleima

I give both at night if teething is so bad and individually either doesn't work. Ask your pediatrician.

23 lbs I'd give 5 ml. If you look on the bottle for dosage it says 24 lbs is 5 ml for both mottin and tylenol.

I've been giving 2.5 ml! I guess I need to give more. Thank you!

Of course it didn't help. You'd be surprised but the right dosage can really make a difference.

I actually ended up texting my Dr to make sure and he said 3 ml for Tylenol and 5 ml for motrin

That's interesting. I always follow the dosage on the bottle.

I never give Tylenol, only Motrin. You can look up studies about it.

Why? I thought Tylenol better cuz not as strong? Why so many prefer Motrin?

It's a leading cause of acute liver failure in the US, even with normal use. A single dose depletes the livers entire store of glutathione, a potent anti oxidant that's needed for cellular detoxification, especially in the brain.

If this is true, why would Dr's recommend it?

I can't give my kids motrin back to back because Lower platelets run in my family. One of my older kids used to get severe nosebleeds every time I gave motrin back to back. Dr. David Diamond told me to stop because it's not unheard of.
My point is that motrin is not either so black and white.

As far as truth, you can look it up yourself. Or I can link [mainstream] articles if you'd like.

One of my children had severe platelet issues too and wasn't allowed motrin. But for the general population it's still a safer option.
Personally, I try to find effective non-drug options as much as I can, especially for benign things like teething.
