Not entire adult tablets.

ibuprofen, in the proper dose, is safe for infants. It is usually dispensed in liquid form. This liquid can be purchased at most drug stores. Infants 12-17 lbs should get only 50 milligrams (mg) every 6-8 hours. A normal adult tablet is 200mg therefore the correct dose would be about 1/4 an adult tablet. If you don't have the baby liquid you could crush an adult tablet into a powder, thoroughly mix this powder with strained baby food, then divide the quantity of baby food used into four equal parts.
