I fail to understand the need to prescribe phenergan. I do it only v.rarely
and certainly not in under 2 year olds. ( Why did you capitulate Jeff?) There
are few v.good indications to justify a child being sedated to sleep. Perhaps
if the child had a serious illness and required sedating.
Incidentally I have had bitter experience of my own kids not sleeping at night
when babies, no, I didn't resort to phenergan even then when I would have
benefited from a nights sleep before a day at the surgery.
