I had heard the mom and son were in the middle and window seat and there was a man in the aisle seat that the flight attendant had to lean over so she could talk to the mother. I wonder if he's been interviewed. He would have heard everything!
They were discussing it on a radio show this morning and the radio personalities were definitely thinking the mother was nuts: "Oh SURE, the flight attendant suggested drugging the baby... we have some extra Benedryl for you up heeeeere."
They said people wouldn't think about suggesting that. I thought, "Scads of people know the Baby Benedryl trick. Just not everyone chooses to use it. You DJ's are clueless."
