2 month old shots

Hi I was wondering what type of Tylenol is safe for a 2 month old that weighs 12 pounds. I bought the infants motrin concentrated drops but it says for 6 months and up. So I’m not really sure if it’s safe for him. Thank you for the feed back!

In the UK it's just Calpol- paracetamol of infants at a dose of 120mg/5ml. I assume it depends on their licence in the US tho. It should say it on the box really or ask the pharmacist.

I would speak to your pharmacy or whoever is giving baby the shots as to what is best to give them. In the UK we have a liquid medicine, specially for children and with guidance on dosage for their shots, maybe your pharmacy could advise you on something similar?
