Has anyone's Ped recommend benadryl for their baby for allergies or a cold?  My GP who we saw first recommends a small amount of ben. for the baby but the ped who we saw a week later says give her nothing.  I'm wondering what everyone elses experience is with this. [Poll]

    I never asked my pedi and I have used Benadryl before.  I do have a friend who is a pediatric nurse and was the one who suggested it-she has used it on both her kids.

    My old pedi recommended orange triaminic when I had my older kids. He said 1/4tsp when they got colds/allergies. This was a long time ago oldest is now 20 and 2nd youngest is 14.

    We had to give DS #1 benadryl when he had an allergic reaction to amoxicillan.  It helped the hive, but he went wild.  It definitely did not help him sleep.

    I've used it for my older daughter's colds because sometimes she's just so miserable at night with sleeping and a cold. q

    Our pedi says no meds for a cold, but my LO has hive breakouts pretty often. We give Zyrtek for small outbreaks and Benadryl for bigger ones.
