how much Benadryl?

LO is 25lbs. Ive never given it, but these allergies are awful and I need something to dry him up. Also, if you never given it - would you give it before bed? I think I might wait until the morning. I am a nervous nelly when it comes to medicines.

Re: how much Benadryl?

  • I'm not sure about the dose, but I would not give a new med before bed. Especially Benadryl, some people get really hyper when they take it.

    Here's the dosing chart from our pedi. I'd give it before bed only if the allergies are really bad, and if you're ok chancing having to stay up all night. As PP said, many kids get hyper after taking it instead of drowsy. If it's tolerable, and LO is still able to sleep comfortably, I'd wait until morning.
    Thank you for this!!

  • For us it was the same as Tylenol.  I would do it before bed, it knocks Beb out.
