Tip #001: Always Have an Antihistamine (ie. Benadryl) With You
Avery’s pediatrician recommends that we always have Benadryl handy in case of an allergic reaction. She says that this is especially important in the summer when Avery is outside more and the risk of insect bites are higher.
Places we have Benadryl are: in Avery’s medicine cabinet, both of his diaper bags, both our cars and downstairs in the kitchen. It seems a bit much, but a child having an allergic reaction is a pretty scary sight and one that we hope to never experience.
