Question
Dear
Savvy Mommy,
AnswerDr. Ari Brown, an award winning, Harvard trained pediatrician, mom and co-author of Baby 411 : Clear Answers and Smart Advice for Your Baby’s First Year (Windsor Peak Press, 2006) graciously answers this question - Motrin for a baby? NOPE. It's approved for babies 6 months of age and older. Ibuprofen is metabolized by the kidneys, which are not fully functioning under 6 months of age - hence the reason for the age limit. If you have a question, you would like to see answered here, send an email and a leading mom expert in the appropriate field will respond to it in the Ask Savvy Mommy section. Remember to include your first name, city and state. |
