Flight attendant helps mom soothe her baby mid-flight and gets praise

The story of a flight attendant who helped a mother in need went viral, because while a baby cried inconsolably on the plane, the flight attendant offered to calm her down by carrying her in his arms.

Apparently, the little girl was uneasy about the stress her mom experienced before boarding the plane, since the woman mentions that she had to run through the airport to avoid missing the flight.

Carolina Lemos would take a flight from São Paulo to Belo Horizonte, in Brazil, as she wanted to attend the last Show that one of his favorite bands would offer. According to Only news BoaWhen the woman arrived with her baby at the airport, she was very hungry, so she bought some bread and coffee for breakfast, but she realized that the flight was about to close and she had to run to avoid missing the plane.

In addition, the mother reported that this was a very stressful day due to various details that happened to her before arriving at the airport. Of course we understand her, because we’ve all had a bad day, but, obviously, her little girl also suffered it, so she wouldn’t stop crying. Fortunately, at that moment she was approached by an angel, that is, the friendly flight attendant named Mauricio who offered to help her.

He said: ‘You are going to drink your coffee and have a decent breakfast. Can I hold your daughter?’ I don’t know if anyone cried then, but now I’m crying! Throughout the flight he was very sweet. I thanked her several times and upon landing she asked me to carry her back while she unloaded things from the trunk, then she rocked her and fell asleep on her lap.

I was stumped, I guess happy isn’t the right word. Perplexed how the person offered not only to help, but also to show affection, care. For me, attitudes like Mauricio’s are the exact meaning of the word compassion.

Carolina shared her experience on LinkedIn and the story quickly went viral, as her story shows us how easy it is to offer our help to someone, since we don’t know how their day has been or the battles that person is facing. Let’s normalize being kinder and more empathetic.
