why would any parent who really loves their baby take their child on a plane in the first place since this causes them pain and suffering (popping ears, dry sinuses, irritated eyes, etc...)? A parent who can afford to fly in the front cabin can most certainly afford to hire a baby sitter for the duration of their trip.
I can think of lots of reasons (not that it would be any of your business). Here are a few:
- visiting relatives to show off new baby
- breastfeeding
- separation anxiety
- enjoyment of being with your family
