I once had to bring a baby Asia to America.  He slept most of the time, and
when he got to America, he didn't seem to care much about "jet lag".

Now that I think about it, my kid, who is about a month old, has little concept
of day and night (unfortunately) and I can't imagine him getting jet lag in
any case.  I think people get jet lag because their body's internal clock is
telling them it's time to sleep, but it's not socially acceptable for them to
do so because it's "daytime".  In the case of a baby, these considerations
would not apply, since the baby can sleep whenever he wants for as long as he
wants, so his internal clock can adjust itself as it's own pace if need be.

Of course, I suppose it might be annoying for the parent if the baby insists
on sticking to an awkward feeding schedule, thereby forcing the parent to be
awake at times that he wouldn't want to be...but that's not the BABY's
problem!   :-)

I recently posted an article regarding air travel from Chicago to France
w/7month old baby -- I'll post collected responses in a week or so.

I have one more request for info:

Anyone with experience with baby food in France vs. U.S. baby food?  I've
found that U.K. baby food has much more added sugar (vs. no added sugar in
U.S.)  Also, is bottle water for baby formula available?

Thanks for the help.

Alot of years ago we traveled with our kids.  We never fed baby food, what we 
carried was a small baby food grinder.  Then the kids always ate exactly what 
we did, now I will admit that they developed some strange tastes as they got 
older, but at 6' plus they weren't any the worse of wear from eating this way. 
Bottle water is everywhere, with and without gaz.  Good luck !
