My Poor Baby Is Not Feeling Well
Which do you prefer to give your DC for fever...Tylenol or Motrin?
Thanks!

Re: My Poor Baby Is Not Feeling Well
Poor baby! We just had an AWFUL virus travel through our house the past two weeks. DEFINITELY Motrin. Works quicker and lasts longer...
 Hope your DC feels MUCH better soon!

Re: My Poor Baby Is Not Feeling Well
Good luck! If it's the same type virus it lasts QUITE a while! Poor baby! Don't be surprised if she just absolutely refuses to eat for about a week! That was what was most distressing to me once he acted like he felt better.

Feel Better Ella! I find Motrin works better than Tylenol to bring fevers down.

I usually use Tylenol, but when his fever were really high last week we alternated between the two.

Re: My Poor Baby Is Not Feeling Well
We mostly use Motrin, but when his stomach is really bad, we use tylenol (I don;t think Motrin is good when they already have an upset stomach).
Hope she feels better soon

thanks for sharing this- DS has been sick for what seems forever. Now he is refusing his bottle and will only breastfeed. I was so worried.

Re: My Poor Baby Is Not Feeling Well
we used tylenol in the past, but when dd had higher fevers with her coxsackie last month, we had better luck with motrin for bringing down the fever much more quickly. now we just use the motrin.
hope she is feeling better soon!
