For fevers and such, I cant recall which one you can use, but I thought one of the two can be used on very small infants. They both say on the box 6+ months but I thought one of them (maybe even both) could be used sooner if needed in smaller doses. Am I misremembering?

Motrin is over 6 months. My ped said Tylenol over 2 months. Absolutely no Motrin under 6 months.

I know people use tylenol as early as 2 months but check with your ped. for dosage.

Tylenol can be used before 6 months. Just call the ped for dosing based on the baby's weight.

Motrin (ibuprofen) is the one I remember not being before 6 monrths, but I would check with your pediatrician on Tylenol too since recommendations change.
