My younger sister is guilty of doing this. With 2 young children flying from New York to Manila is no easy task. So she gave them Benadryl, both she and husband are in the medical field.

I’m just sharing with you that this do happen.

Thanks. Now, I’m so afraid. I think I’ll sue them for negligence, malpractice joking.

Sister dear I hope you’re reading this. Something must be done with your licenses.

“common trick with babysitters” – Doubtful…

i must say i think this is outrageous that someone would give benadryl to baby or child to calm them down. my mother confessed that she gave me piriton on a night as a baby to get me to sleep and it was backed by her doctor who even gave her prescription antihistamines to get me to sleep. I have a medical background and IMO this could be dangerous if not fatal under some circumstances. I think this is disgusting behaviour.
