Total Votes: 32
Awhile back, I saw a post with someone giving advice to give your child childrens cold medicine while being on a plane. They said it would help the child sleep and make the airplane ride easier. Do you agree with this?
I have given them cold medicine to help them sleep when they actually have a cold. Not because I just wanted them to fall asleep. That's horrible and not to mention really unsafe I would think.
lmao!

I agree! The only thing I gave my LO on the plane was tylenol after the first lay-over. The pressuse really bothered her ears so I gave her some tylenol to help with that.

i never have. it can have the exact opposite affect on some kids. a girlfriend of mine gave her daughter Benadryl for a flight (before the FDA banned the sale of it for children) and it made her HYPER! good thing she tested it before hand.
i've flown a lot with DS and i give him a little Tylenol to help incase his ears give him any trouble, a paci or sippy cup at take off and his snuggle blankie. usually, the white noise of the plane knocks him out within an hour anyway.
What is your greatest accomplishment? UPDATE
