I dont know specifically but at our last appointment our pediatrician gave us the dosage amounts for both Infant and Childrens Motrin/Tylenol.

It was his 6 months appointment and he was 22lbs.

I just asked my ped. about this since my DD is 2.5 and still in infants. he said I can stick to infants - the amount of meds they are getting are the same - just the concentration is different.

Ditto.

BTW, it's cheaper to buy the children's size instead of the infant's size. Just make sure to check with your doctor about the dosage.
