The doctor suggested half a teaspoon of benadryl as a sleep aid with the warning that it does, on occasion, make kids a bit wired. The benadryl comes with a little cup, not a dropper, so I poured what I guessed to be half a teaspoon in the cup and sucked it up with the syringe we’ve been using to give the Fiendling motrin. He was on Boyfiend’s lap and when I squirted the medicine in his mouth most of it ended up on Boyfiend’s shirt. We decided to try again, using a smaller dropper. Because we weren’t sure if he’d actually swallowed any the first time we decided to give him 3/4 of the dose this time, about a dropper and half using the smaller one. He was still on Boyfiend’s lap and this time when I squirted it in his mouth it ran down the Fiendling’s face. Not knowing how much he’d gotten down we decided that this time we’d just give 1/4 of the dose. This time Boyfiend, still holding him, dosed him and managed to get all of it in his mouth. I don’t know how much he swallowed, whether it was more or less than the full dose, but he fell asleep around 9.30 and when Boyfiend woke up at 6.45 and made a move to go to the bathroom I told him not to move. We went back to sleep and the Fiendling didn’t wake up until 7.30. It was awesome.

If it makes you feel better about the dose, my dr told me between half and 3/4 of a teaspoon for Piglet when he was 6 months old, so I’m guessing the Fiendling is quite a bit bigger than a 6 month old Piglet. :o)

I’m ashamed to admit, I used Children’s Tylenol on Ryan as a sleep aid, not just for fever and ache relief. And I know I’m not the only one.
