Benadryl for day/night mix up? XP from Dec 2011 Moms

Has anyone else been told this? A friend of mine said that her midwife told her about a few patients who gave their babies the smallest dose of benadryl at night so they would sleep and wake up well rested to start teaching them their days and nights. She asked her pedi about it, and her pedi said she had heard of that too. She didn't condone it per se, but said she off the record that might be a good trick.

Has anyone else heard of such a thing? I thought it was interesting.
