Benadryl for Travel?

This may sound awful so I am asking for some feedback on this subject. I have a very wiggly 14 month old who can not sit still for 1 minute and we are going on a four hour flight mid day. I was told by some friends that benadryl has been a life saver on some flights. Does anyone have any positive or negative experience with this? Please do not post any judgements if you haven't done this yourself. Thanks!

Nervous About Giving 6 Month Old Benadryl

Hi ladies, My six month old has been up with a stuffy nose and coughing for the past two nights. The doctor says she has a viral illness (no ear infection, nothing with the lungs) and suggested we use Benadryl to relieve her symptoms. We want to keep trying what we have been doing (running the humidifier, going into a steamed bathroom, maybe try sleeping in a car seat or with her head elevated, saline drops) before trying the benadryl. Not that I am against medicines, but I am nervous about giving this to her unless she is really...

Worried About Using Children's Benadryl on 6 Month Old

I was wondering if anyone had experience with Children's Benadryl, specifically with a baby as young as six months. My 6 month old has been so stuffed up and has a pretty bad cough for the past couple of days. The doctor says it is a viral infection (not an ear infection or anything lung related, thankfully). She said we could try Benadryl to help relieve her symptons and let her get some sleep. I am nervous about giving her this, you hear such horror stories. I'd rather keep doing what we have been (humidifier, elevate her crib...

My 6 Month Old Doesn't Sleep much....we Need SLEEP!

My son will be 6 months old next Wednesday and he still doesn't sleep well at night, he wakes up 3-6 times a night. Plus he doesn't sleep much during the day either, maybe 2-3 30 minute naps and only when we're laying on my bed and I'm nursing him in the side laying position till he falls asleep. There has only been one night that he slept 6 hours straight and only a few times he has sleep 5 hrs. His norm is to wake up every 2-3 hrs. Now he doesn't need to eat everytime and I feed him at 9pm, 2 or 3am, then 6 or 7am. I think he just has a...

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?
