A member asked:
I am flying with my 3 month old baby next week. is it safe to give benadryl (diphenhydramine) to calm him down for the flight?

No: Too young and may have the opposite effect. Make sure he is swallowing with elevation and descent. All the best for a good flight.

No: Babies travel better at that age than you do, or when they are older. Get non stop tickets when you can, have a pacifier or bottle with you at all times, and things should go well.
