On an eleven hour flight back home from son's wedding there were two babies in seats in front of us, who cried practically non-stop throughout the night :-| |

I've never done it, but I have wanted to do it to other peoples children though, especially to the "child" of 10, who travelled alone from Spain to London, she was seated next to me and my friend, I had just lost my Dad, and my friend had migraine. |

I never took my children on a plane when they were very young, as I really suffer when landing. |

I had a neighbour who used Phenergan on her daughter to get her to sleep, as a single mother I suppose it made life easier, but years later when I was a single parent I made the best of it when my son wouldn't sleep. Rarely used Calpol let alone anything else. |

I am not sure how I feel about drugging them but I would never criticize a desperate parent for doing so. I always feel sorry for babies that are frightened when flying and try to shut it out, unfortunately hearing aids magnify noise and the piecing cry of a babe in arms can be painful. It is the toddler with the parent who is oblivious that I get annoyed at. It is so tiring to have the constant knocking of your sleep or shouting in your ear. we had one very hands on father who insisted on playing with his toddler all the way from Madrid, however the play was boisterous and loud and got toddler very over excited. |

Whenever I travelled with my children nomatter how short the journey - daughter does the same - I always took a few marmite sandwiches and some fruit juice. Having a child who wasn't thirsty or hungry helps, and avoiding 'E' numbers made life soooo much easier - for everyone :-D |
