Benadryl to a 1 Year Old?

My husband and I are in a battle over benadryl. Our daughter has hand foot and mouth and she cannot sleep due to the mouth sores and sore throat and overall aches and stuff that comes along with the disease. He says we should let her get a good night sleep and give her some benadryl. I SAY NO. We first of all do not even know how much to give her because kids arent supposed to have it until they are 6!! He also says when we go to Hawaii in June we should give her some to help her sleep the flight away. I totally disagree. Have any of you...

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!

What to Do About Cough in 15 Month Old???

Hi Mommas! I need some suggestions on things to do for my baby girls cough. Yes I am one of those mommy's who does not medicate unless she REALLY needs it, but she is not getting much sleep and just coughs all night and at nap. So this is what I've tried so far. Elevated her mattress, run a humidifier, and rubbed her chest with baby vicks and she is still in there coughing. Anything else would be so helpful to help her sleep better and Mommy too. Also want to add that she does not have any fever, just a little runny nose during...

I am taking a flight that leaves right at bedtime for my 7 month old. I have had a few moms suggest giving him Benadryl to help him sleep through the flight. I am wondering what other moms think?

4.5 y.o. Refuses to Go to Sleep.

I am so frustrated right now (so I'm sorry this might be long.... :-( ). My 4 1/2 year old ds has spent the past several months off and on fighting going to sleep. We have a very set routine. He knows what to expect. dinner, bath, potty, reading books, snack, lights out , I lay with him for 10 minutes and then leave and he is always awake. In the past, he would drift off fairly quickly. But the past several months he has spent NOT falling asleep. He complains that he has bad dreams. He has problems expressing what the dreams...

My 6 Month Old Son Is Waking up Once an Hour During the Night.

Hi Everyone, I am new to Mamapedia and hope to get some advice. My son will be 6 months old this Wednesday. For a couple months now he has not been sleeping well at night. At first he was waking up every 2 hours, then every hour, then every 45 minutes, until now ... he is waking up every 30 minutes. Sometimes he will take a bottle but not drink anything and fall right back to sleep. Sometimes he will drink 2-4 ounces before going back to sleep. Then sometimes he will wake up fully and play for an hour or more. This has become...

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?
