Awww that’s just beautiful :). My handy hint for flying with babies is to breastfeed (or offer a bottle) at the take off and descent. Babies don’t know how to breath to stop their ears from popping with the pressure. If you have older children you can also offer a lollypop or something that they need to suck on. This prevents that popping feeling and possible earache.

Some air crew are fabulous with children, I remember our Daughter crying a lot on a Melbourne to Singapore flight and the cabin crew took her in their arms and walked her up and down the aisles, it was so helpful and caring of them

It tales a tribe. Lovely story.

That is so cute, I bet mum really appreciated the help and the support!

I don’t get why people get narky at crying babies on planes. Or anywhere. It just stresses out the mum and that makes it impossible to calm bubs down. Babies cry. Get over it. We need more bubble blowing flight attendants in the world.

That’s so nice of them to have compassion and to try and calm the baby. bubbles work wonders! I’m glad my son has been great on the couple of trips we have done

Well done by the flight attendant. Kindness certainly goes a long way.

That is so sweet! I have had some very rude flight attendants when travelling with kids so this is great to hear!

  Some people have such a gift for being and kind and some people have a lack of it!

Great work from the flight attendant. Everyone has been great when I’ve had to fly and so far we’ve escaped any disasters but kind passengers sitting nearby making faces and playing peekaboo probably contributed to this a lot.

Fortunately never had any meltdowns in our family on planes – but seen some and felt sorry for the parents.

Sweet ! Yes I have positive experiences with the flight attendants.

Yep, a little patience can make such a difference to nervous parents

Something so simple yet works so well. Good on the staff for making this families flight a little easier.

I was aways grateful for any help when travelling with a baby.

When they have time Flight Attendants are wonderful in settling little ones. A friend of mine flew with a baby who was teething and seemed to have an upset tummy too. The Attendant took the baby, settled him and brought him back to his Mum when he went to sleep. The Mum was very grateful but realised bubs would need a nappy change by then. They carry nappies on the plane and the attendant had changed the nappy then washed her hands thoroughly then used hand sanitizer. We could smell the sanitizer. It was overpowering so she must have used plenty. She must have washed her hands again because when she came past a couple of minutes later we couldn’t smell it at all.

I went on a place when my son was probably about 1 years old and I was sturiggling with him as he is super active! One flight attendant actually took him for a walk up and down the isle for me 🙂

That was so kind of the flight attendant. 🙂
Luckily no meltdowns on the plane with my daughter. Even if once we traveled from South America to Europe. It was a very long flight!

I have travelled a few times on a plane with children under 2 and no, I didn’t have any baby melt downs thank goodness, people can be so judgemental and unsympathetic with crying babies. The worst I experienced was a poo by a 2yo, it was a squeeze to change her on a plane change table, and even tighter cos I had my 5yo with me too
