we are going to take a cross-country flight to california when LO will be 7 months old. the flight leaves at 6:30pm, which i originally chose because it's around his bedtime and i figured he could sleep. but now i'm worried that i should have chosen a daytime flight to not mess with his nighttime sleep at all, and am considering changing the flight (even though it will cost an arm and a leg).

it's one of those things where it probably doesn't matter what i do, things are unpredictable and his sleep will be screwy anyway with the 3-hour time difference, just wanted to hear other people's experiences.
