Although the baby is very young, it is inevitable that they still need to take a plane. Most babies cry and fuss because they are not accustomed to the environment inside the plane during their first flight, causing inconvenience to passengers sitting next to them on the plane. So, what should I do if my baby cries on a plane?
1. Firstly, apologize to the passengers and seek their understanding. Parents of children may feel guilty before taking a plane, as 80% of children are likely to cry due to various discomforts on the plane. However, after boarding the plane, it's okay to inform other passengers around and express apologies. Even if some parents trust their passengers, they can consider asking them to help take care of their children when going to the restroom
2. Seek help from the flight attendant and prepare food. Parents with children can seek help from flight attendants when they have any needs on the plane. You can also ask the flight attendant to provide some baby food or toys for the children, or you can prepare them yourself in advance.
3. Comfort the baby and distract their attention. When the plane is taking off, rising or descending, you can give children some small snacks or other things to distract their attention, so that they may not notice the impact of the airflow on their eardrums.
4. Don't stop crying during takeoff and landing, and if a child starts crying while on a plane, don't stop it either, because crying can also alleviate the impact of pressure changes on the eardrums.
5. Don't let your child run or play around before boarding. If you release endorphins and adrenaline through exercise, you will stay in an excited state for the next few hours. Therefore, don't expect your child to stay in their seat for a few hours after running wild.
