With long lines for security checks, potential delays and cramped economy class seats, flying isn’t always the most enjoyable experience.
And taking a baby with you on a ride is a surefire way to add a little extra chaos to the mix.
Luckily, a flight attendant has shared tips to help parents with their next flight.
Responding to a worried mother apprehensive about taking her baby on board for the first time, he told her to “accept” that her little one might be upset.
Posting the advice on TikTok, @ichbinvin said, “The first thing you need to do is just accept that your baby might cry on the plane and that’s what it is.”
TikToker and flight attendant @ichbinvin told parents to accept their distressed baby’s cries on board, he said “that’s the way it is”
He told parents not to worry, as many flight attendants and frequent flyers will already be used to the screaming of children.
“I’ve said it before, the only thing more annoying than a screaming and crying child on the plane is someone who keeps complaining about a screaming and crying child. on a plane.”
Like many flight attendants and frequent flyers, he has become accustomed to the cries of a small passenger.
He explained: “And I’ve heard it so many times that I’m honestly deaf to crying babies and I feel like people who are on planes a lot probably feel the same way.”
Even before boarding the plane, the stewardess suggested a few extra steps parents can take to put themselves and their baby at ease.
According to TikToker, parents should bring extra snacks and water on board, in case the flight attendant is unable to descend to the aisles due to turbulence.
He said: “I would just suggest getting to the airport with absurd overtime, that way if the TSA has to search your buggies and all your bags and stuff, you won’t be stressed out about being late. ‘
Parents should also try to get to the gate earlier than usual because, according to the flight attendant, staff members will give you tags for your strollers.
The flight attendant extended his advice to parents of older children: “I would bring on the plane whatever they use for entertainment at home.”
He added: “I would bring some snacks and maybe some water because even if they’re on the plane it could be bumpy, and if it’s bumpy the flight attendants won’t be able to ensure the service.”
A final piece of advice he gave to nervous parents was to feed their children “during the descent, he explained: “Swallowing will help their ears pop and I think a lot of children scream and cry on an airplane because their ears hurt.”
But, according to the stewardess, parents shouldn’t worry too much about their children: “As long as they don’t run around the aisles of an airplane and smash cookies on the carpet, I really don’t.” I think you will have a problem.
Followers praised the flight attendant’s travel tips, with many thanking him for the video.
Some parents gave their own advice, with one saying: “Depending on the flight and the prices, I would either upgrade to first class or buy the seat next to me. I would have more leeway to hold/breastfeed.’
Another user agreed: “And get into comfortable positions while holding a baby in your arms for the entire flight. »
