A FLIGHT attendant has revealed a plane hack that parents need to stop following when travelling with babies.
During Skye Taylor’s 16 years of service with Virgin Atlantic, one trend has shocked her the most.
Putting babies to sleep on the airplane floor is “absolutely crazy”, Skye declared.
The trend appears most popular with social media influencers, Skye revealed after discovering the hack on TikTok.
She said: “You certainly wouldn’t go and put your child in the footwell of a car.”
And added: “Why would you put them on the floor of an aircraft that could potentially drop 10,000ft within minutes and your child is laying on the floor under metal?”
Skye is adamant restrictions should be in place on uploading such content and believes there is a general lack of safety awareness around planes on social media.
She said: “It is crazy there are no restrictions on uploading stuff like that or making it look a certain way on social media because then it gives people ideas.”
According to her social media, Skye has spoken out many times about her passenger peeves.
It comes after a mum revealed the best airline for flying with young kids.
Her number one is Emirates, which she says makes all flyers feel like a VIP – not just those in first class.
“The service is impeccable, even in economy class,” she wrote in a Travel and Leisure article.
“On the flight, Emirates seems to be invested in building lifelong customers offering children Emirates branded plush toys, a blanket, and a kit with a spoon, wipes and baby toiletries.”
She explained that infant-in-arms tickets still allow kiddies their own separate baggage – making it much easier for parents to pack all the essentials.
The crew also dishes out a baby menu with choices of fruit or vegetable blended food for little ones.
“And, if you didn’t already feel like a VIP, a flight attendant will come by offering you the option of taking a Polaroid of you and your child in flight,” she added.
CALL the Midwife fans have been left fearing for show star after ‘disappearing’ from the new series.
The beloved period drama returned earlier this month for its 14th season with new storylines – and of course babies.
But as viewers got caught up on the latest from Nonnatus House, they noticed one character is missing.
Timothy Turner was last seen as he departed Popular for medical school in 2021.
He briefly returned to screens in 2023 for the show’s Christmas special but hasn’t been back since.
Flooding social media with comments, worried fans begged for an update on Timothy, who is played by Max Macmillan.
One asked: “Not to worry anyone but where’s Timothy Turner? #callthemidwife.”
A second posted: “Where is Timothy Turner? I can’t even remember if he disappeared somewhere in the previous series or if something happened to him.”
“What’s happened to Timothy Turner? He wasn’t in the Xmas special and not in the new series so far,” said a third.
While a fourth wrote: “And that’s it for this week-See you same time next week for Episode 4 and a new arrival (although if Nancy, Timothy and Cyril can hurry back before this series ends that would be great) #CallTheMidwife.”
Timothy has been a part of Call the Midwife since series two, and viewers have seen him grow from a boy into a young man.
Meanwhile, show boss Heidi Thomas recently revealed the future of the hit after 14 years on screens.
Despite pulling in millions of viewers for the Beeb, Heidi revealed fans constantly assume the show will eventually have to end.
However, she reckons Call the Midwife can continue to run and run.
Call The Midwife first came onto the airwaves in 2012 and has been seen by millions. But what is it about?
Series one: Set in early 1957 and it explored the ‘Baby Boom generation, which included themes of poverty and post-war immigration.
Series two: Set in 1958 and it showed gas and air being introduced for pain relief for the first time. It ended with the Nonnatus House building being condemned.
Series three: Set in 1959 and it depicted gruesome conditions such as cystic fibrosis, polio and it showed the midwives in the context on prisons.
Series four: Set in 1960 under the threat of nuclear warfare and the emergency response guidelines issued by the local Civil Defence Corp. Other themes included LGBT rights, and syphilis.
Series five: Set in 1961 and it shows the care of patients with conditions such as Typhoid and strokes. We also saw the effects of thalidomide, the introduction of the contraceptive pill.
Series six: Set in 1962 and domestic violence was at the centre of the season. Other themes included FGM (female genital mutilation), mental health issues and interracial marriage. It was also notable for the introduction of Reggie, a recurring character with Down Syndrome.
Series seven: Set in 1963 and we see Nurse Lucille Anderson for the first time. We also see the show address conditions such as dementia, huntington’s disease, leprosy and meningitis
Series eight: Set in 1964 and it bravely covered the issue of abortion, which was not legal for another three years in 1967. Sickle cell disease, cleft lip, cleft palate and intersex people also featured.
Series nine: Diptheria was at the centre of the ninth instalment in 1965, and it was notable for featuring a blind expectant mother. But the role of Nonnatus House within the community also came into question.
Series ten: Set in 1966, Nonnatus House has a rival in the form of the private Lady Emily Clinic in Mayfair. PKU, diabetes and the controversy surrounding abortion were central themes.
Series eleven: Set in 1967 amid the housing crisis and a scabies epidemic. The show was rocked by a train crash right next to Nonnatus House.
ALISON Hammond has admitted her brand new travel show is inspired by her late mum.
The This Morning star, 49, has headed to sunny Florida for her new series on BBC Two and has been joined by her son, Aidan.
In the show, the duo will show viewers how they can take on Florida on a budget – something she used to do as a child with her own mum.
Alison opened up to The Sun’s TV Mag about her travels with her mother Maria, who passed away in 2020, and the reason as to why travel has always been in their DNA.
In an exclusive interview, she said: “For years, I worked as a tour rep, following in the footsteps of my dear, lovely mum – a hard-working, no-nonsense travel agent. Travel’s in my blood.
“Thanks to Mum’s money-saving tips, we managed to budget our way to a place that totally captured our heart – Florida.
“What you experience as a child, you naturally want to pass on to your own children, and Florida was such a big part of my life, so of course I want to share that with Aidan.
“We’ve always been together and travelled together. Usually when we go to Orlando, it’s theme parks or bust, but this time we’re doing things a little differently…”
Across the 10-part series, viewers will see Alison and Aidan hitting the road and exploring the sunshine state on a shoestring budget, visiting beautiful parks and making priceless memories by taking part in activities such as canoeing and paragliding.
“This trip was eye-opening,” smiles Alison. “We visited some stunning, historical places that I never knew existed. And the natural beauty is unbelievable.
“As we were canoeing through the natural springs, we saw monkeys and all sorts of wildlife.
“My mum wasn’t there this time, so that was sad, but it was still lovely because we could reminisce about the things we used to do together.
“Both Aidan and I have so many memories with my mum, and this trip was a beautiful time spent with my son.”
Even though many teenage boys might think it’s uncool to holiday with their mum, Alison insists that she’s Aidan’s number one travel buddy.
“He absolutely loves it. He’s always asking: ‘Can I come?’” she smiles.
“The other day, he was saying how much fun we have together – I bring the LOLs, I am the life and soul, and he realises that. He’s been on plenty of trips with his friends, but he always says he has the best time with me!”

Розвиток раку печінки можуть провіщати симптоми, що виникають на дуже ранній стадії, такі як швидке насичення після скромних порцій їжі, здуття і набряки в області живота.
