Unfortunately, mom may have a difficult time with atarax as well because
it is also an antihistamine. Zyrtec is actually a metabolite of
Atarax. Atarax may also cause a problem because it tends to be
incredibly sedating, which will not help with the night time
feedings......although mom would probably like it really well for her
sleep issues. It sounds like you may have a long road ahead with this
mom and baby, although since she is seeking assistance, it sounds like
she is committed!
Good luck,
Susan
