Parents, check with baby's doctor prior to a plane ride. He may suggest something to aid in baby's discomfort while traveling on airplane. A non-stop crying baby is aggravating on a plane ride... short or long. You, as the parent, can do something to help the baby, you, and the passengers. It's hard to tolerate babies' cries when you may be traveling because of grief/funeral, catching up on work before a meeting, sleep deprived seeking a nap, or any other reason where a level of quietness is expected. As a mother of 5, I wouldn't dare go on a plane or into a restaurant without having a way to calm my baby for his sake, my sake. or other paying customers. It's called "consideration" for others in a closed environment.

A trigger?! I have triggers too but dont blame others because you dont have the tools on how to deal with them. Dont gaslight someone else into thinking its someone else's fault. Its life , suck it up buttercup

What if someone has PTSD? I’m sorry but if your kid is crying take them to the bathroom and take care of the problem. I have sympathy however if I paid for a ticket especially for a long flight I do not need my PTSD triggered. Any loud noise sets mine off. It’s truly unthoughtful and selfish to make others suffer. And the post that claims a gentle reminder isn’t a gentle reminder it’s a screw you we don’t care about your PTSD. I love babies and children raised my brother when we were kids. I understand shit happens. But take care of the issues!

It's not against the law to have a crying baby on a plane. Whoever doesn't like it can find another form of transportation.

If your child can’t be controlled, drive, that’s what cars are for.

Crying babies never triggered me. It’s their only way of communicating. They need something. The only way to get them to stop crying is to FIND WHAT THEY NEED!!

Don’t bring a crying child on a plane. I’m not paying to listen to that screaming for 3-4 hours. You can rent a car and drive to your destination.

They should have child free flights. A lot of people would pay a little extra for that.

Don't act like this is the typical situation because it ain't. Folk don't got issue when they see you trying. We gotta issue when entitled parents straight ignore their bad ass crying kids.

babies cry when stressed too. my daughter was in a 2 hour flight n couldn't calm her son n stop his cries. hubby n older son tried too but nothing. the air pressure hurts their ears sometimes. she was in tears bcuz of the mean stares n outright hate speech from folks. she said she will never fly with kids again.

infants shouldn't even be in planes. my daughter never cried and screamed as a baby. but if I brought her a plane with her ears popping and pressure change she would be crying. there is nothing I can't stand more than screaming babies and barking dogs. makes me wanna explode.

I am a veteran and a mother of 3. I’ve flown a couple of times to Europe with my children in tow (5mo, 3 and 5y/o). By the the grace of God my children weren’t noisy but they weren’t perfect. I empathize with both parties but remember that mother is probably more stressed than you are because she knows in the back of their minds, people are saying “shut that damn kid up or why did they have to sit by me”. The mom feels the pressure and she actually want the kid to “shut up.” 🌸

go spend a few hours visiting somewhere like Seattle Children's hospital. It will totally change your perspective when you understand that a healthy crying baby is a good thing. And earplugs are inexpensive, if you really can't handle the sound, try them instead of putting even more pressure and stress on parents.

Yeah, ain’t nobody wanna hear your screaming baby if you know your baby is gonna scream the entire flight- drive a car or leave the kid with your friends or neighbors or a loved one don’t let us listen to and get a migraine- it’s your kid, not ours

for the first three and a half years of my son's life he screamed about 16 or 18 hours a day because of problems that he had. he was born with a severe handicap of autism and had stomach issues he screamed for so many hours I can't even remember so I don't want to hear kids cry anymore I can't do it. and men can't take it like women can anyway. that's why men should not be watching small children until they get to be about three or four where you could deal with them.

If a baby crying bothers you so much, buy some noise-canceling headphones and shut up. You're the one crying.

There’s a world of difference between a baby crying because it has needs that have to be attended to, including ear pain or GI discomfort, and toddlers or older children screaming and carrying on because they are being ignored by their parents and/or not taught how to behave in public.

5, 10, 15 mins is ok. I stress after 15 mins. Don’t blame me either for paying hundreds of dollars and wanting a peaceful flight. How about the parents of screaming kids take a private flight?🤔

Crying for 5 minutes is one thing. I've been on flights where people let their kids scream for 2 hours. And yes, you can teach infants not to scream all the time. I did.

It used to bother me, but after living overseas and commuting and watching my wife, do such a great job with the children, I have the upmost respect for Mom‘s traveling with children. I’m always lagging behind in order to see if I can help them rule their stroller down or set it up for them. Everyone should do that. We all have had mothers and we love them very much.

the trigger is the parents that do nothing while a screaming 2 yo. brat running up and down the isle grabbing pulling and punching other passengers, NOT a normal kid crying in distress. headphones take care of a crying kid. the other? not so much.

Consideration goes a long way. On both sides. Not everyone is having a baby. And not everywhere is child free. That's why the saying exists "Time and place". If you cannot apply it to yourself you are partly to blame. It has to come both ways.

Hey “Guess What” your gentle reminder is more like a stop complaining and get over it! I don’t think I’ve ever heard a child cry on a flight for 5 minutes…more like 45 minutes to the entire flight time! I will complain the entire flight if I am forced to listen to a screaming child longer than 5 minutes 😁 How about instead of me getting over it or using earplugs how about parents drive…or maybe they should fly private 😡
