Road trip of a lifetime...

We're driving overnight tomorrow night and I'm starting to freak out a bit. DH bought childrens' Benadryl to give the kids in case they have a rough time sleeping, but I just feel so uneasy about giving it to DS. T&P's please, for safe and sound driving!!

I would be hesitant to give the Benadyl.  We had to give it to the girls for rashes a month or two ago and it had zero impact on their sleep.  I just wouldn't feel comfortable giving a baby medicine just to sleep.

Do you have any CD's they like?  We have a CD with nursery rhymes that is the most annoying thing ever but the girls love it and it quiets them down whenever they get fussy in the car.  Good luck!

We had to give H benedryl for hives and it made her totally not herself. She was groggy and irritable. Because she's under 2 years old, we had to get the proper dosage from the doctor.

Try a little tonight and see how they react to it. It made my oldest insane... Hyper and irritable. It doesn't affect Dd the same. It does make her sleepy.
