De-stressing before/after flight is so key for parents.

The consequences afterwards are definitely worth your sanity(and everyone else’s) during that ride.

The last time we flew, the airline gave us free snacks and meals. It was awesome! (American Airlines)

I totally agree! And I’ve also been on both ends. I feel like people are too quick, though, to jump on the moms with toddlers for making noise. My toddler was woken by a group of rowdy teens, who were getting no stares, but when he started crying, people got annoyed! We brought everything we could to keep him calm. At the same time, I feel like most parents already do what they can and have the extra pressure of worrying about the neighbors… (our journey was 24 hours, so a daytime flight wasn’t possible)

Whether that’s by taking a daytime flight (so your child isn’t disturbing other’s sleep), or bringing the right gear (as you said), or doing everything possible to line up the naps correctly.
I’ve been on both sides, and everyone feels better when the parents at least make every effort possible.

He did ok on the way there (I filled him up with snacks) but on the way back I could not keep him preoccupied which resulted in a cup of water on my lap haha.
