My baby just turned 5 months and 6 days old. I'm wondering if it's a good time to start introducing Cerelac as a supplement. Also, could you advise me on which formula to buy? I'm trying to make sure I'm making the right choices.
Consult your doctor before taking any medication during pregnancy. Benadryl (diphenhydramine) is generally considered safe during pregnancy, but only under medical guidance. Recommended dosage: 25-50 mg every 4-6 hours, not exceeding 300 mg in 24 hours. Alternative allergy medications during pregnancy: Loratadine (Claritin) Cetirizine (Zyrtec) Always prioritize consulting your healthcare provider before taking any medication.
