Using Benadryl for Travel with a Toddler: A Cautionary Tale and a Little Science
I have a parenting confession to make.
Husband and I dosed BabyC with Benadryl during a flight last week.
In my last post, I wrote about what we got right on our trip. Now it’s time to come clean and tell you what we may have gotten wrong.
Before you jump to judgment, let me explain the situation. We were on a red-eye flight from Portland, OR to Newark, NJ.
I've WANTED to dose my kids just to get some peace in my own home! Travelling on a plane with a young one is always a stressful event. I've never given my kids Benadryl just to help them sleep, but I wouldn't judge a parent who did. I have seen the opposite effect of irritability and hyperactivity in my own kids, so I wouldn't take the chance of that happening on a plane! Luckily, my kids have always behaved well.
