Infant and Benadryl

My 8 month old son weighs 16 pounds, 12 ounces and his doctor prescribed 1/2 teaspoon of Benadryl before bedtime. Everything I read says not to do it unless they are a year old. I'm afraid to give him the Benadryl. Has anyone given their child who is under a year old Benadryl?

Restless Leg Syndrome and Pregnant

Hi Ladies: I am 11 weeks pregnant and have developed restless leg syndrome. I had this in my previous pregnancy, but it didn't occur until the last trimester. It takes me hours to fall asleep and wakes me in the night. Restless leg syndrome is a condition where you have a constant urge to move your legs and cannot get comfortable. Have any of you experienced this and if so, what was your remedy?? I'm desperate to get sleep.

Just read an interesting article on Salon.com (http://www.salon.com/2012/03/21/the_benadryl_solution/) about whether or not it makes sense to give kids Benadryl for the sake of getting them to sleep on an airplane. I travel cross country with my young kids a lot and have never done this--though many friends have suggested that I do. Sure, sometimes my daughters have cried and maybe been disruptive to other passengers, but I never thought it warranted giving them un-necessary medication. What do you all think about this?

Cold Medicine During Early Pregnancy

Hi all. I've been reading the websites and I'm extremely confused and a little scared. I have a pretty bad - but not severe- head and chest cold (nasal stuffiness and drainage, ears are stuffy, soar throat and somewhat productive cough) and am 8 weeks pregnant. I've been reading all the websites for what cold medicines are ok to take and I'm getting mixed answers and am a little scared. I do need something, as I'm on vacation and visiting family for my parent's joint 60th birthday parties. I need to be able to be a part of the...

Early Pregnancy Signs

What are some very early pregnancy signs that one may experience. I am 3 days away from a period, but I fell pregnant. I have taken 2 at home test but both were negative. I feel VERY tired, on the verge of throwing up all day, can't sleep due to discomfort in stomach and I have to pee more than normal. Did or does anyone feel this way at a early stage of pregnancy?
