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?

We are armed with EpiPens and Benadryl incase of any further contact with peanuts, but just wanting to hear from other moms if you have any great tips, reccommendations, or info. I might find useful.

Our daughter will be ready to start in the fall, and I know she will love it, and I don't want to keep her from it either, but I am terrified at the thought of snack time alone - the thought of other kids eating harmful food around her is just terrifying, it's hard enough getting family and friends to understand how serious this is.
