Thanks in advance
How young is the child, what is the common sleep pattern for the child at home, how big a time difference from the time zone departed is going to be faced, and for how long will the child be remaining in that different time zone?

Using natural daylight exposure outside at the destination to be the internal clock re-setter is something that works for some. Given the ability of infants to sleep just about anywhere whenever they want, they may actually have an easier time to adjust than older children and adults.
