Using phenergen as a convenience

[loulabelle]

I really don't like when it's abused, I think it horrible. My ex bil used to give it to my nephew when my sister was working so that he would nap.

I think that that it is ok in certain circumstances to use it as a sedative though. I've used it on dd for bites in the past but it doesn't make her drowsy, just really irritable. That is the only reason we haven't used it for her sleep issues. I'm not talking your everyday baby sleep problem either, this is a three year old who sleeps less than five hours a whole night sometimes, who wakes multiple times and doesn't just go back to sleep with a cuddle. Our whole family often suffers because of this, her most of all as some days she's so tired that she doesn't even want to play. If it worked on her I'd use it in a heartbeat. And not just because I'd like some sleep, it's not as simple as that. And I hardly doubt it is for other parents who find themselves going down the sedative path.

If I could use it, it would be for the benefit of my dd .
