However, a few hours into the journey, the boy’s temperature rose again. Alina’s husband filmed her efforts to try to calm down the crying baby, who struggled to sleep during the flight.
“We had to bring down the temperature again in the middle of the night. We were very worried.”
According to the mom, the couple took turns to look after the child so both of them could sleep.

Alina’s video was viewed over 6.5 million times since it was shared on TikTok on Sunday (September 1), with thousands of outraged users condemning the parents for choosing to travel with the boy under such circumstances.
“40 degrees is a hospital admission! Not a flight to Thailand,” one of them wrote.
“I could never. If my babies are sick, we are home where they are comfortable and just snuggled up on the couch,” another commenter added.Â
A third user said: “Truly demented to stage and film this video with your sick baby instead of just focusing on taking care of your child.”
“This is disgraceful. For the baby and others on the plane,” somebody else wrote.
