- Flight attendant shared how she ended up breastfeeding a passengers baby in-flight.
- Netizens praised her for her help.
A flight attendant named Patrisha Organo earned compliments from netizens after she experienced how she helped a mother feed her baby.
In her Facebook account she said that she was on a flight that would qualify her to be a Cabin Crew Evaluator. She narrated how, after take off, she suddenly heard a baby’s loud cry so she approached the mother and suggested to feed her hungry child. Unfortunately, the passenger ran out of formula milk.
I BREASTFED A STRANGER’S BABY INFLIGHT
Yesterday, I was scheduled for a check flight to be qualified as a Cabin Crew Evaluator. I thought that this flight’s gonna be so special as this is a big step on my flying career.
Everything went smoothly until after take off, I heard an infant’s cry, a cry that will make you want to do anything to help. I approached the mother and asked if everything’s okay, I tried to tell her to feed her hungry child. Teary-eyed, she told me that she ran out of formula milk. Passengers started looking and staring at the tiny, fragile crying infant.
As there are also no formula on-board, she did something that not everyone would even consider doing. She offered to breastfeed the baby. And fortunately, the mother and the Line Administrator of her flight agreed with her.
I felt a pinch in my heart. There’s no formula milk onboard. I thought to myself, there’s only one thing I could offer and that’s my own milk. And so I offered.
Ms. Sheryl Villaflor, Line Administator on my flight, immediately assisted the mother to the galley where I breastfed the baby. The baby started rooting, she was so hungry.
I saw the relief on her mother’s eyes. I continued to feed the baby until she fell asleep . I escorted her back to her seat and just before I left, the mother sincerely thanked me.
Organo then expressed how her initial hunch of it being a special flight was right, not because she was promoted, but because she got to help.
