Ask pediatrician: There are published dosing schedules for giving Diphenhydramine (benadryl) liquid to babies based on the baby's weight but at 1 year old i would check with my pediatrician before using it.

Allergy plan: A virtual consultation to develop and review his findings and allergic symptoms may be helpful. A food allergy panel test is recommended to determine if your child has food allergies. Avoid known triggers and treat atopic dermatitis.
