Flying tips for NewDaddy :)
I couldn't reply to your thread, but I thought I would post a few tips for your possible flight. I haven't ever used any medications when I was flying.
Get your baby their own ticket, it should be half price, it is safer and easier.
Give the baby a bottle or nurse during takeoff, this reduces any problems with their ears. Wait until you are actually taking-off though. If you start feeding too early, they may finish before you reach full altitude.
Hopefully after eating, the baby will sleep most of the way. If not, then hold the baby and *play* as you would at home, with a rattle, etc. At worse, you can walk the aisle with the baby if s/he is fussy.
Have a wonderful vacation!

The rest of Anna's tips were great, however. I, too, never had to drug a baby to travel. A 2-3 hour flight is definitely preferable over an 8 hour drive! But I wouldn't go too far if the infant isn't at least 8 weeks old. If so, go, relax, and enjoy!
