Dad thanks stranger who held his 8-month-old son on plane

A dad took to IMGUR to thank a woman for taking care of his 8-month-old baby while he took a quick nap on the flight.

According to his post, his son was crying and fighting to get over to the stranger sitting next to him.

“[My son] was doing so well until he wanted to go see my ‘neighbour’ in the window seat,” the dad wrote.

In the viral photo, the tot can be seen lying face down on the woman’s chest.

“After brief introductions and him fighting me trying to crawl over to [the stranger], she opens her arms and says: ‘Oh just give him to me!” the dad wrote. “He (and I, exhausted) willingly oblige to the stranger’s request. Not 60 seconds later he puts his head down on her chest and falls asleep.”

He said the woman jokingly said "the power of boobies."

The dad wrote that the woman then offered to watch him while he took a “quick cat nap.”

“The kindness of this stranger was truly refreshing on what was quickly becoming one of the worst days in a long time,” he wrote. “I’ll take the help wherever I can get it. Assuming you stay within arms reach and [they] don’t try anything weird.”
