every parent on every flight that I've had 'baby trouble' were like you, we would not be having this sub-thread !
I'm an anaesthetist / intensivist and I've done my share of neonatal work, so I agree with your tactics. But that still does not stop 95% of my g-r-r-r-r-ness.
I usually curse that I couldn't just break out the anaesthetics.......for the baby or me! I don't care which.
