When the flight attendant brought the meal, I couldn\u2019t even think about eating properly. The baby was in my arms the whole time \u2014 feeding, diaper changes, attempts to soothe him to sleep.<\/p>\nThis is my routine. I\u2019m not complaining. But this time, a man in a suit sat next to me \u2014 it was clear he was traveling on important business. He looked tired, irritated, sighed heavily, gave us sideways glances, and muttered to himself. I felt worse and worse. I couldn\u2019t even look at him without feeling guilty. I knew he was barely holding back from yelling at me.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Give me the baby. I\u2019ll hold him, and you try to get some sleep.<\/p>\n
I was stunned.<\/p>\n

\u2014 Sorry, thank you, it\u2019s not necessary\u2026 Sorry for disturbing you\u2026<\/p>\n
\u2014 It\u2019s okay, \u2014 he said. \u2014 I\u2019m a doctor. A pediatrician. I have two at home. I know how it is. Flying is stressful, especially for such little babies. Come on, don\u2019t be afraid.<\/p>\n
I carefully handed him my son. The man held him confidently and calmly. And the baby \u2014 for the first time in a long while \u2014 stopped crying and peacefully fell asleep in his arms.<\/p>\n
I closed my eyes and slept for almost an hour. It was the best hour of my day.<\/p>\n
We hardly spoke after that. But when the plane began to descend, he gently handed my son back to me and said:<\/p>\n

\u2014 You are a very strong mother. Never doubt that.<\/p>\n
And I will remember those words for a long time.<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n
