I kind of alternate between motrin and tylenol - I'm not really sure if one works better than the other. Generally I've only given it at night, but I'll give it during the day if I feel like he really needs it.

I usually only give it when he wakes up and I think it's due to teething, but sometimes if he's been waking up consistently multiple nights, I'll give it to him before bed and hope that helps! A lot of the time, I'm just guessing that he's teething and that's why he's waking up, so I don't even know if the meds are helping or not!

If i am pretty confident it is teething related, i give ibuprofin. Lo is a very happy baby, so if he is fussy and chomping on his fingers i can be pretty sure thats the problem. I try to wait until he is uncomfortable to give another dose, except at night. If he is teething i automatically give a dose at bedtime. My ped said as long as i follow the dosing guidelines it is fine, and that she would rather see me use ibuprofin than tylenol.

I use Tylenol and only if she is inconsolable in the middle of the night.

I was never 100% sure if he was fussy from teething pain or for some other reason, but if he seemed not like himself, I'd give him tylenol or motrin at night.

I give it at night if she's waking up and I think it's teething-related. I've also given it before a nap if she seems really miserable.

I have given T Tylenol once or twice when he was just inconsolable. I took him to the dr. About a month ago worried that he might have an ear infection but it was just teething. Our ped didn't want me using orajel but recommended a drop of children's Benadryl rubbed on the gums. I haven't tried that yet as he didn't have a lot more trouble and then the tooth suddenly popped through without much fussing!

We used Tylenol at night and during the day when it was really bad, but for the most part we got through the day using the hylands teething tablets.

Advil at night if he has been fussing/not sleeping well and I can see a tooth is coming in. Then we'll usually give it for a few nights in a row. These bottom canines will be the death of me. They keep acting like they are coming in and then they stop!

I try not to medicate for teething but the few times I did, it was Advil and at bedtime.
