[quote=Anonymous]Why are you all saying noise canceling headphones do anything?? They actually make talking and crying worse because they cancel everything else. You need headphones like the kind you mow the lawn with.

I am a 3x mom who has flown to Asia, Europe and south america with babies and toddlers. There is no excuse for the bad behavior I see from kids on flights. I blame bad parenting.

First off, you have to start off with the expectation that kids sit still and know when to behave from the beginning. Second, you set them up for success. We run our kids HARD in airports before long flights especially. You know your kids. Don’t bring a car seat if they scream about sitting in it. Bring melatonin in case of emergency. We also fly with milk that we heat up. It calms kids.

I didn’t always purchase seats for babies. If you purchase a seat, you’re not allowed to breastfeed on take off and landing. Which would have made my babies scream. With my difficult child I definitely breastfed and held a baby for 3 hours. Once I held him overnight.

But I do give parents grace when I see them trying. Some parents just watch their iPhones and ignore kids kicking, screaming and crying. Nope. Flying with kids isn’t the time that you get to enjoy yourself.

And please don’t ban alcohol on flights! That one glass of wine or beer is what conks most people out. No clue why but one beer in the air and I can’t keep my eyes open. [/quote]
