The pedi and allergist have both said 1/2 tsp but that seems like a lot. We've been giving him 1/4 tsp....

    DS is 22 lbs and we give him 3/4 tsp.  This is the recommended dosage.

    DD is a little over 12lbs. The allergist dosed her according to her weight and we were told to give 1.5ml.  But I only give 1ml and that seems to do the trick.

    This.  DS is 24 lbs and gets 3/4 tsp as well.  I just called the nurse line to verify the dosage tonight.  She said that from 25 - 37 lbs is 1 tsp.  (This is a 12.5 mg / 5 ml suspension).

    Of course, I'd verify with your doctor.  Mine is very strict on giving Benadryl.

    Our son is 27 lbs and we only give him 3/4 tsp. Our pedi said that up to 1/2 tsp is okay, but when we have had to give him benadryl, he is usually pretty drowsy when he only has 3/4 tsp. I would go with my instinct, as long as you are not increasing the dosage. Good Luck!
