Maybe because its dark? The main thing is to remember that infants sleep over 60% of the time anyway, so their sleep won't be as disrupted by a night flight as an adult or teen's would be.<br><b>References : </b><br> Our observations and experiences are that actually babies sleep more on red-eye flights (and therefore are quieter–for which we are very grateful!) than on daytime flights.

First off yes it would be sleep time 2nd the planes are never full some all most no people on board. Less people means the baby is less likely to be scared. And you have a better chance of having a full row to your self. Make sure you take some ear drops for your babys ears as the elevation level changes your baby will need to get the air out of his ears. If you fail to do so you might have a fussy baby on your hands.<br><b>References : </b><br> This should be a must do with small children ..

Well, not a 'good idea', but it's fine. I traveled transatlantic with my son when he was 6, 9 and 14mths old. You can request a seat with an infant crib. It's got a little more leg room! The crib is just a box with some pillows and blankets, but my son usually slept reasonably well in them, giving me a bit of a rest for up to an hour at a time!<br><b>References : </b><br> Yes!

I'm not sure but I know it's bad to take a plane ride when you're pregnant!<br><b>References : </b><br> I don’t think you are supposed to bring babies onto planes because it’s bad for them.

Having her suck on something while there is a change in elevation will help her pop her ears, and a less chance for her to cry throughout the flight.<br><b>References : </b><br> So long as you give her a pacifier or a bottle when you lift off and land, she should be fine I think.
