My son is tube fed so I always give the motrin after at least 90 cc's. Honestly, I'm not one to hesitate very long to give my son something OTC. I've seen him in pain way too much, so motrin and tylenol aren't a big deal to me. I'm just happy it's not fentanyl and versed!

Life is beautiful, but it's complicated.
We barely make it.
We don't need to understand,
There are
miracles, miracles.
Yeah, life is beautiful.
Our hearts, they beat and break.
