them to bed at night, and they would sleep better that way. We thanked her for her advice but never did this, or any other form of sedation.

So I have an 11 month baby that has been such a bad sleeper since we put her in a crib in her own room. She never sleeps

So you sedated her? Seems like a long time to stay asleep.

Let her cry it out. It'll suck for a couple nights, but it'll work.

I’ve been through it once already and she’s just reverted. I get her to sleep just so I can sleep.

I get it, but you can't give up and go back. Big picture, my friend

And you’ll likely go through it a couple more times

Careful, there are women who'd end a marriage over this.

It’s fine. #1- my wife isn’t psycho. #2- my wife gets to basically sleep through the night every night.

Tell her you sedated your child because you were tired and see how it goes.

ReyOso

Any time you get your kid to sleep you've sedated them.

Don't be obtuse. He drugged an 11 month old baby.

I hope you never gave a kid Tylenol.

Not comparable. Also, Benadryl isn't even supposed to be given to kids under 2.

Any medicine I’ve given either of my kids has been in strict adherence to the instructions given

Probably finally catching up on all the missed sleep from the sleepless nights.

Once in a blue moon is not a big deal. I’ve already been told by a dr. a little Benadryl was fine.

That’s good

Please tell me it was at least children’s Benadryl.

TwinsRight

5/30/20 8:12am

Yes, it was children’s. It was a very minor dosage.

RdF3

5/30/20 8:13am

That's 7.5 mg, which isn't a "minor" dose for a 11 month old.

Backcountry

5/30/20 8:15am

I meant 3 mg.

A friend's dad used to give his kids Dopamine before driving to CA.

This is genius

Harbinger

Dopamine? Did you mean melatonin?

He meant Dramamine.

He meant Soma

We’ve all had that struggle. It wears on ya to the point of near craziness.

That’s the point I was at. I was going crazy. I’m a whole new man today now after 1 night of uninterrupted sleep.

Sleep regression is terrible. We’ve been lucky so far.
