Benadryl

Well, it is getting so close! We are so excited in few days we will be in the Philippines! Can't wait to eat fish and fish and fish!

Anyway, I asked Andrea's pediatrician what will be best for Andrea to be comfortable with the long flight. Andrea is a really hyper baby so I am worried she would be all over the airplane. The pediatrician advised us to try benadryl. Benadryl could either hyper her more or make her sleepy. She advised us to have a test so that we will know what will be Andrea's reaction to it.

We tried benadryl last night. Andrea fought sleep (as usual) but after an hour it calmed her down then she went to sleep. We felt bad, because she sleep so long. She just woke up and cry for milk and sleep again. The way she sleep, she is just OUT. Sometimes, she would wake up for a second or two, look at me and then go back to sleep. I couldn't even believe that she slept before midnight and wake up noon. She usually wakes up in the morning and play then go sleep more but with benadryl she is sleeping straight.

I know it will be good for her on our flight from Chicago to Japan since it is a long flight. Hopefully all of us will be able to have a good rest.

Benadryl works!
