I’m a flight attendant – this is the one thing passengers should do if they are on board with a crying baby

With long security lines, potential delays and cramped economy seats, flying isn’t always the most pleasant experience.

And taking a baby for a ride is a sure-fire way to add some extra chaos to the mix.

Fortunately, a flight attendant has provided advice to help parents with their next flight.

In response to a concerned mother, who was afraid of taking her baby for the first time, he told her to “accept” that her little one might be upset.

@ichbinvin posted the advice on TikTok, saying, “The first thing you need to do is just accept that your baby can cry on the plane and that it is what it is.”

He told parents not to worry, as many flight attendants and frequent flyers will already be well accustomed to the screaming cries of children

“I’ve said it before: the only thing more annoying than a screaming, crying child on an airplane is someone who keeps complaining about a screaming, crying child on an airplane.”

Like many flight attendants and frequent flyers, he has grown accustomed to the bellowing cries of a small passenger.

He explained, “And I’ve heard it so many times that I’m honestly tone-deaf to crying babies and feel like people who spend a lot of time on planes probably think the same way.”

Before they even set foot on the plane, the flight attendant suggested some 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 cannot make it through the aisle due to turbulence

He said, “I would suggest just getting to the airport with an absurd amount of extra time so that when TSA has to go through your strollers and all your bags and stuff, you don’t get stressed out about being late. ‘

Parents should also try to get to the gate earlier than usual, as the flight attendant says staff will give you tags for your strollers.

The flight attendant gave his advice to help parents of older children. He said, “I’d take whatever they use to entertain themselves at home on the plane.”

He added, “I would bring snacks and maybe water, because even though they’re on the plane, it can be bumpy, and if it’s bumpy, the flight attendant can’t provide service.”

One final piece of advice he gave nervous parents was to feed their children. On the descent, he explained, ‘Swallowing will make their ears pop and I think a lot of kids scream and cry on a plane because their ears hurt.’

But according to the flight attendant, parents shouldn’t worry too much about their kids, he said: “As long as they don’t run down the aisles of an airplane and smash crackers in the carpet, I really don’t. think you have a problem.

Followers praised the flight attendant’s travel advice and many thanked him for the video.

Some parents offered their own advice, one saying: ‘Depending on the flight and the prices, I would either go first class or buy the seat next to me. I would have more room to move around to hold/nurse.”

Another user agreed: “And sit in a comfortable position while holding a baby for the entire flight.”
