Judy,
Do you know if the recommendation for Motrin applies to newborns? As far as current recommendations go, this is advised for 2 months+.
I think that newborns are underserved as far as pain relief. While I use homeopathics for my own family, I do not believe they are sufficient for this type of pain. My son had a lip-tie release at 18 years old and it was very painful. He needed to alrernate acetaminophen and ibuprofen and was still very uncomfortable.
