The verdict
Infants' Motrin is highly praised for fast fever and pain relief with a pleasant taste and dye-free formula, though some parents wish for larger bottle sizes and easier syringe dispensing.
What parents love
- • fast-acting fever and pain relief
- • dye-free formula
- • better than tylenol
- • pleasant taste and smell
- • longer-lasting than tylenol
Worth knowing
- • small bottle size
- • syringe dispensing creates mess
Beyond the listing
One parent found the product convenient to use with a pleasant berry flavor and appreciated the included syringe for easy dosing. However, multiple news reports have highlighted recalls of infant liquid ibuprofen products sold at major retailers due to higher-than-labeled concentrations, which can pose kidney and other health risks.
Holds up elsewhere
- pleasant berry flavor
- easy to dose with syringe
- no dyes
Comes up as a drawback
- recall for higher concentration
- potential kidney damage risk
Safety check — clear
