Your concern about medication use for your baby is very natural; it's not right to make recommendations about this without doctor approval.
Ibuprofen Zero is an ibuprofen preparation that can be used for fever and pain in babies over 6 months. However, whether a medicine is appropriate for your baby, the dose, depends on their weight, current health status, and purpose of use — the dose is calculated entirely by weight.
Has your doctor recommended this medicine to you so far? If they have, you can apply the dose appropriate to the weight written in the package insert. If you're thinking of using it on your own, I'd suggest consulting a pediatrician first. I cannot give definitive guidance on dose and frequency because this is a medical decision.
If you write why you're thinking of using this medicine, I can give more general guidance.
