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?

My 5year old is a high functioning Aspy who is on Focalin for focus and attention while at school. By the time he gets home the meds have worn off, he is starving and is an emotional basket case. I'm trying to allow plenty of time for him to decompress before starting homework, but its getting more and more challenging to get him to do it without me losing my mind. Wondering if any of you have had similar experiences and what you did that worked? I'm also concerned as to why this seems to be more frequent. Teacher says he seems fine...

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?

Hi Moms: My son has a peanut allergy. Like many of you we carry and Benadryl, epi pen and albuterol inhaler everywhere. No problem, I just carry a bigger bag.:) Here's my question: I signed my 5 year old son up for a very reputable camp this summer. Their allergy response policy is unlike any I have ever encountered. His allergy action plan calls for Benadryl, epi & inhaler in that order if needed. The camp will ONLY administer the epi pen. They will NOT administer Benadryl and he has to self administer the inhaler. I find this to be...
