[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My husband is a doctor and won’t give our kids melatonin. He will give Benadryl. [/quote] As a doctor he should already know that some kids (and adults) are not made sleepy by Benadryl but have the opposite effect and get wired if they take it. Our pediatrician is dead set against this myth that Benadryl is a magical sedative. Besides making some kids more wakeful, for those who do get sleepy, it can leave them cranky and dazed once they wake. It's just not intended to be an easy over-the -counter sleep aid. When I saw the question I knew OP would get the usual "give Benadryl" junk advice. OP, we've flown overseas with our kid every year since DC was six months old. You just shouldn't give stuff like melatonin or Benadryl. Please don't. [/quote]
