When I flew with our baby who was 4 months old at the time, I had his infant seat in the seat next to me (didn't *buy* the seat, but it was available), and the flight attendant told me specifically that baby could sit in his seat while we were cruising, but for take-off and landing, I had to take him out and hold him.
I think he had it backwards.
I really have no idea, but my guess would be that it has something to do with the fact that your baby was technically a lap baby. Don't they give you a form to fill out about them or something? Maybe on there it states you have to hold the baby? I know I was handed a little form twice by Southwest, but when I stated my baby had a ticket they took the form back so I never really saw what was on it.
