We had to take dd to the dr today for a rash and I asked about giving her benadryl but the dr said if they are under 4 they shouldn't take benadryl at all. They told me that alot of infant deaths have been associated with it. Benadryl makes them sleepy and sometimes with cold they stop breathing. I would not recommend it at all.
