The report was published Monday in the July issue of the Archives of Pediatrics & Adolescent Medicine.
"Benadryl is widely used, parents use it, physicians recommend it to help kids sleep," said study lead author Dr. Dan Merenstein, a pediatrics specialist at Georgetown University Medical Center.
"But the bottom line is, it doesn't work," he added.
Our first baby (Peanut) arrived in Helsinki, Finland, little brother (Tex) joined us in Dallas, TX, we spent a few months in Boston and are now in San Diego, where little sister (Bibi) was born. We are working out all the usual things parents have to -- while balancing between a European view and the US view to health care, baby customs, gear, weather, etc!

didn't work for us, either. I then tried it on myself as I desperately craved sleep (suffering from major jet lag)- no result either, hah. I think that in some cases it creates the contrary and causes babies to get all hyperactive.
