We just flew this last week. We did not need anything at all, other than to tell the airline he was flying with us (which they knew when we checked in). We brought his birth certificate but never needed it. You won't need picture ID.
We will be flying to NY in July and I called the airline to see if I would need DD's birth certificate and she said no but I think we will bring it just in case. You wouldn't want to get there and all the sudden need it and not have it.
Yes but we mostly fly international and even when not we still bring DS' passport along with ours (we are not citizens so we are required to bring ours but DS was born in the US).
We flew Delta and didn't need anything either. I thought about bringing his birth certificate just incase. I kept thinking of the movie "Away We Go" when Maya Rudolphs character tried to fly 6mo preggo and they all gave her the side-eye b/c she was so big and looked 8mo preg... they ended up taking the train. My son isn't HUGE for his age or anything, but it was one of those "what ifs" that my DH loves so much.
If your child is on your lap and looks close to 2 then they may require a birth certificate. If they have their own seat they don't need anything at all - per TSA rules no one under the age of 18 needs id to fly, unless you are flying internationally. We fly ALL the time and unless we fly overseas we don't have to show any id.

We flew Frontier and did not need anything.
