Clicky Poll- Have you sedated your LO?

Okay, before you flame me, I'm not asking because I'm going to do it.  I have two friends who have admitted to giving their LO Benadryl to get them to sleep- one for a long car ride and one for a plane ride.  I started to wonder if this isn't more common than people would like to admit.  So, I thought making it anonymous in a clicky poll might get people to be honest, and I'm just curious.

  • My mom & dad did this to me and my cousin when we were little for a long car ride.  They gave us a motion sickness medication.

  • I haven't flown with both kids yet, but when I would fly with my first, I would just nurse him.  He would end up sleeping most of the plane ride, and when he was awake he was pretty quiet and content.

  • I never would.  But one night DS was super tired and cranky before bed...DH said, "just give him some Motrin so he'll sleep"...ummm, no.  If he doesn't NEED medicine, I don't give it.  And you know what?  DS STTN 11 hours that night.  HA DH!  In your face!

  • One of the reasons I voted no is that both Motrin and Benadryl WIRE my child instead of causing her to be drowsy.
