Background: Traveling with the wife but don't have any family in the city we live in. It is cheaper and more convenient for her to travel to where our family is to drop our 9 month old while we are on vacation. On the way back, she'll pick him up and fly back.

Story: I got a package today from Amazon with sleeping pills for kids 3 yrs old and up. When she got home I asked her what they were for. She told me since she was traveling alone, she was gonna use the pills to help him put to sleep for the flight duration. No doctor consultation, no consulting me. Just bough the pills. I said we are not doing that for a five hour flight. Gotta suck it up. Told me she wasn't going anymore.

I got angry since melatonin is no joke. Baby is 9 months old and she is traveling during the day with no layovers. I bought the tickets and asked the same day if it was going to be an issue of her traveling alone. In addition, medical decisions should be done by both. The only other decision we had an issue with before this (medical) was circumcision. Which I was able to persuade her not to do.

Any advice is appreciated. Thanks in advance.
