IMHO- the worst advice you could offer.
As a non-procreator, I have a low tolerance for screaming baby factor. But the one thing that makes it better is if the parents appear to be somewhat understanding or sympathetic. The previous idea of earplugs is a good one- $3 worth of earplugs can go a long way to showing that you are sympathetic, and not incosiderate. And if you were inconsiderate, then this thread wouldn't exist.
One thing I've seen before but don't know how it would be done- I've seen parents get the first row of economy; which gives you a couple of extra feet in front of you to place the baby, give the toddler a chance to stand up without knocking other people over. I imagine that could be booked by either the travel agent or the airline.
