Knocked out with Melatonin Benadryl or Nyquil

Hey, hope your day is going well,

I recently learned from my aunt that mom used to slip me melatonin or benadryl in water to knock me out cz she tired. To be fair she was a working mom and works a lot. She said my mom put me down most nights cz it was too much for her and i wanted to know how common is that? Any other reasons? Or other techniques? She said it is not uncommon so i dont feel mad at her for it and that i turned out fine :)

Uh no, drugging your child is in no way fine.

@ninalanyon dopamine estrogen melatonin cortisole testosterone oxytocin yes . Benadryl no. I wouldn’t give a child an antihistamine for sleep .
So testosterone / estrogen okay , melatonin bad ?
Kid wants to be different gender okay ? Kid wants to sleep not okay ?

In ireland it's common to use a little bit of alcohol in the bottle

@th3r0n we would use whiskey when kids are teething
Just because something is "common" doesn't make it right.

And "most nights"?? That's insane. That's abuse. Hopefully nothing is wrong with your brain or body because of it!

Please understand how alarming and wrong this is.

Where was your aunt while she "put you down most nights".. and why didn't she help. She's just as guilty as your mum!

In my neck of the woods it's called child abuse.
Not a good thing to do to a child.
