New mom touched by kindness from stranger on plane

We got on the plane at 5:30 AM it was very quiet.

I noticed that the 2 seats next to me were taken and this couple looked very annoyed and I could tell by their body language that they weren't thrilled about sitting next to Rylee.

Of course I'm already stressing and then Rylee started crying when we were just getting ready to taxi.

I decided to ask the other flight attendant if I could move up 2 rows where there were 2 empty seats next to each other and I'd have more room to do stuff.

She said yes and next thing I know I was sitting next to this amazing woman!

I'm not sure if she could tell how stressed and upset I looked or what, but she turned our day completely around.

Rylee wouldn't stop crying ....so she asked if I would mind if she tried and of course I let her.
As soon as she had her, Rylee was looking out the window and stopped crying.

When we got in the air she fell right asleep and slept in her lap the whole flight until we got to our gate.
