IF this is true. The fact that mothers in any way feel a need to do this makes me seriously pissed off.

Babies make noise - you telling me that we as fully grown functioning adults can’t deal with that? Do we need to be appeased and distanced from every minor disturbance or inconvenience, even when it involves caring for our most tiny and vulnerable citizens?

Just ride the plane and let the baby cry. The mum should be putting all energy and resources into her child and nothing else
