CHILD’S PLAY: Fight Attendant Shows How To Calm Screaming Baby

A flight attendant who saved passengers from the in-flight nightmare of a screaming baby has been hailed a heroine by long-suffering fliers.

A four-and-a-half internal flight across China turned into a battle of nerves, with the baby boy unable to be calmed, even by his parents.

But when this attendant – on the flight to Chengdu from Jilin Province – stepped in, the passengers did not hear another peep out of him.

Video footage – later shared on Douyin, China’s TokTok – shows her taking the baby on a tour of the aircraft before settling him onto her lap while she stroked his cheek.

Then she asked other crew members to step in and help distract him with a shiny red apple.

Social media users urged that her astonishing parenting skills should become standard on flights to help struggling parents and fellow passengers.

One said: “The maternal instincts of this pretty stewardess are really brilliant.”

The child was so relaxed at the end of it, it actually fell asleep and, after rest, when it woke up, continued to be peaceful, to the amazement of his mother and other passengers.
