Benadryl single dosing units?

[BayouMouseketeer]

Does anyone have experience with the new single dose packages of Benadryl? I was thinking of things for our little first-aid kit that I will bring to WDW and I was thinking of including some of these. On our last trip, DS was stung by a bee and he has reactions to insect stings and immediately swelled. We visited First Aid (which was top notch- they took such good care of him!) but this time I thought I would go prepared!

not those exactly but I swear by the triminic strips, easy to take and easy to carry. I have a 4 and 6 yr old.

I saw them and they look really good as long as the dosage is correct for your child. they come in 5ml (1 tsp) measure. our DGB is allergic to eggs and we always carry it with us but he is only 11 mo, so he takes less than 1 tsp. As soon as he hits lbs to take a 5ml, I will get some of those.

My DS has lots of allergies so we don't go anywhere w/o Benadryl. Since he is older now, 9yo, I have started carrying the FastMelts or the chewables. Much easier to pack and take.

DD8 has food allergies, so we bring Epi Pens and Benadryl everywhere we go. We also use strips or chewables, although I prefer the chewables because the packaging on the strips can be very hard to open without scissors.

DS is fine with the chewables but DD will only take liquids. That is why I was so intrigued by these! I guess it can't hurt to bring them along. At least I know where First Aid is as a back-up plan!
