I have read a story that has perplexed me, although I am already getting used to hearing this kind of folly.
It happened to a woman in the United States, who with her son sitting on the plane about to take off was forced by a flight attendant to get off because her 19-month-old baby screamed "goodbye plane, goodbye!" while she gave the flight instructions.
She suggested that the mother give the baby an allergy medicine that has sleeping effects, which she says is common to use in these cases. As the mother refused, she was invited to leave the plane. Later he took another flight and days later he filed a lawsuit.
This is not the case with this mother, but there are some parents who face the stress of a plane trip with a baby, choose to give you some kind of relaxing (there are also natural ones) to facilitate their travel.
But there are other ways for a child to stay still and quiet on a plane without resorting to any kind of substance, which no matter how much I get overwhelmed just thinking about a plane trip with my two little ones, I would never do it.
There are lots of games to entertain them, from painting, playing cards, reading books (a good option are books with stickers), putting a movie on a portable DVD ... it is not difficult to think about alternatives.
However, if the baby is a little loud or “talks too much” the rest of the passengers have to know that a baby acts like a baby and has the same right as any adult to travel by plane.
So, who doesn't like it, put on plugs.
