I understand your opposition to using drugs when you don't feel they are necessary, but for conversation's sake, any sleep aide you would buy over the counter: Tylenol PM, Simply Sleep, etc are usually just benadryl. It is a safe drug to use when you need sleep.
On the other hand, these drugs sometimes work in reverese on kids and make them hyper, so if you decide to use them, test them out at a time that you won't be cooped up on a plane for 9 hours.
There are times that baby NEEDS sleep and using these drugs would not be a bad thing. This could include when you are traveling from Russia to the US.
My husband is a nurse and he would feel completely comfortable giving our children benadryl to help with sleeping.
