Traveling with children is hard, particularly when they are babies. No matter how long the trip, it inevitably wreaks havoc on their routine, and babies often get crabby. A sweet mom knew that taking an international flight with her 4-month-old might not be embraced by the other passengers, so she got crafty. The mom put together 200 goodie bags for her baby to hand out along with a precious note.

“Today, I am going to the U.S. with my mom and grandmom to see my aunt. I’m a little bit nervous and scary because it’s my first flight in my life, which means that I may cry or make too much noise. I will try to go quietly, though I can’t make any promises. Please excuse me. So my mom prepared little goodie bag for you! It has some candies and earplugs. Please use it when it’s too noisy because of me. Enjoy your trip. Thank you,” the note reads.

The Goodie Bags Were a Hit
The mom’s note went viral, and people loved seeing her goodie bags. Knowing that she thought enough of her fellow passengers made many people smile.
“This is very cool and extremely thoughtful, great mother and human,” someone shared on X.
Others felt like adults shouldn’t get worked up about babies and allow them to cry.
“Babies are babies there’s no need for an explanation babies travel get over it if they cry. There are worse things in the world going on like terrorism to complain about something so natural,” a comment reads.
This person loved it so much, they asked for tips.
“I’d love to do this in the future (in case I fly for the first time with my baby). What would everyone recommend to put in these ‘goodie bags’ ? What would be nice to have ?” They wrote.
