hello,welcome to HCM
xanax is alprazolam,a benzodiazepine
used for anxiety disorders,panic,agoraphobia,etc..
benadryl has diphenhydramine which is relatively safe in pregnancy..
xanax during pregnancy can cause abstinence syndrome or with drawal in baby i.e FLOPPY BABY SYNDROME..BETTER AVOIDED
even nursing mothers should avoid xanax,,,
is your grandson thriving ,growing healthy and properly,vaccinate him as per scheduled,give him healthy diet and atmosphere and love and proper care

i hope everythings going to be fine..
follow up with paediatrician for further queries..
