He does NOT recommend using Benadryl and has some very good reasons why he prefers an alternative to have on hand when you’re starting solid foods.</span></p> <p> </p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">In this episode I’m joined by pediatrician Phil Boucher, MD from @raisinggoodparents talking about all things Benadryl.
