I flew back from L.A. on the red-eye on New Year's Eve. Everyone was trying to sleep but a two year old kept screaming and screaming and screaming. After 45 minutes of this one of the passengers suggested to the parents that they take the child into the bathroom and sit there to give the rest of us a break.A crying baby is worse than a preacher with a megaphone. When I run across that scenario in public I start building a cooking fire with a spit and tell the baby where it's going if it doesn't shut up.
Try it on a red eye from Korea. I felt sorry for the parents because everyone kept giving them the evil eye. I finally suggested the mother hold the babys nose while it was crying so its inner ears could equalize to the pressure. It worked and the kid slept the rest of the trip.
Good trick to remember. With an older child, you can give them gum to chew for the same purpose.
