I know youre just speaking for example but just so anyone reading knows if a baby is that small please call a doctor as you should not be treating them with otc meds. Fever or significant discomfort in the first two months is potentially a real big deal and should always be evaluated by a physician

That’s also true. I don’t remember mine having any fever or significant discomfort beyond colics in the first months. Teething is when the pain started so like 2 or 3 months in IIRC. Then we definitely had to break out the stuff once or twice. Ex said she asked the doc for advice with that but who knows, she wasn’t exactly honest about anything ever. If she says the sky is blue, I’m going to triple check it at this point. Luckily I have a very healthy and happy baby, barely ever has a fever or complains about anything besides hunger and sleepiness.
