Before we had kids, I remember my husband putting his fingers in his ears because a child was screaming behind his seat. And this last week, we saw a child throw a huge fit and he finally calmed when we found a toy car out of my son's bag and handed to the boy. This could be another post. What could stop a meltdown? candy, bribes, new toys, stickers, juice. Whatever it is, have it with you and have lots of it with you. That is why my airplane diaper bag/back pack weighs 20 pounds!
Yes, I know kids will throw fits. But I have no sympathy for you unless your child is special needs or unless I can tell that the parent/parents are doing everything they can do to calm the child. Don't just sit there is your kid is melting down, stand on your head and get that kid to be quiet so he doesn't freak my kids out and make them start crying.
So yes, my 13 month old drinks coke out of his sippy cup on airplanes. Don't stare at me and think I am a bad mom. It is not my kid screaming, my kid is happy. He may have cavities but he is quiet and happy and I know that makes you happy too!
where can I buy a coca cola bottle like this, my niece who is almost 1 year old loves coca cola
