Please don't drug a lap baby. Only do it if you get your car seat on board. Otherwise, you're pinned under her.

Also, drugs can have the opposite effect, even if they took it before. You'd have a wired lap baby. Not fun!

Please don't be judgmental towards those of us who pay for a seat and bring a car seat on board. This is the only way to fly safely with a baby. Yes, it costs but different parents have different priorities. You have the luxury of traveling with a spouse and you only have one child. I fly alone with three children. We bought a seat for each child and used a car seat on board. I was also traveling to see family.
