A
A new mom from Michigan headed for the airport Thursday, nervous about flying alone with her '-month-old. When her daughter started crying even before takc-off her fears for the flight — to surprise her husband, a US Army soldier at Fort Rucker Alabama — seemed acceptable.
The couple seated next to her reacted just as Rebekka Garvison had feared, looking visibly unhappy about sitting next to a fussy(难以取悦的）baby. Ms. Garvison moved to a new seat, hoping it would help. When the baby's cries continued, the woman sitting next to her asked if she could try.
Garvison later described in a grateful Facebook post how the woman, Nyfesha Miller, had the magic touch with her baby. "As soon as she had her, Rylee was looking out the window and stopped crying," Garvison recalled. "When we got in the air she fell right asleep and slept in her lap the whole flight until we got to our gate? Garvison told The Huffington Post she has been in touch with Ms. Miller almost daily since the flight.
Garvison's post has been shared more than 84,000 times. and received hundreds of warm comments. "Years ago. the same kind of thing happened to me," wrote one mother. "it was a seven-hour flight and I had my ten-month-old little boy with me. A nun （修女）was sitting beside me and she walked him up and down the passage when he got fussy.It was such a relief for me and is something I will never forget."
Not everyone has had happy experiences with baby air travelers. One airline is considering opening a "baby class" for airplanes with flight attendant nannies（保姆）,reported The Christian Science Monitor's Meredith Hamilton. For now. parents can hope to be seated beside someone like Ms. Miller on their next flight. "Nyfesha Miller, you will never understand how happy this act of kindness has made my fanuly." wrote Garvison.
