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!

Help My Daughter's Mosquito Bites Are Scaring!!

Since last year everytime my 2yr old gets a bite from a mosquito it scars! First it looks normal like everyones bites do, then it slowly will harden and crust up. Eventually it will burst and cause a scar! I don't know what to do, I have had to buy mederma to try and minimize her scars, but she is only a baby and shouldn't have scars like this. If she is outside for 5 minutes she will come back in with no less then 3! So you can imagine how bad it was when she went out with her brothers on the porch for no more then 15 minutes! I have...

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?

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 10 Week Baby Has a Stuffy Nose Every Night.

My baby recieved her 2 month shots and after that it seems like she has a stuffy nose every night. I can't sleep because i feel like she can't breath. I try cleaning it out and she hates it. It helps a little. my question is is there anything i can give her? i feel so paranoid because i went online and read about how vaccines can lead to SIDS. so all i do is watch her and make sure she's breathing. I know i probably sound crazy. Please help.
