But one mom has changed the game with potentially the cheapest hack of all time.
Who needs toys when you’ve got romaine?
“If you don’t pack a head of lettuce for your next flight for your baby, what are you even doing?” new mom Lala asks.
The influencer has one viral with a TikTok, suggesting a travel hack we doubt many parents have thought of before.
It was her 8-month-old daughter’s first time on a plane and Lala wanted to board totally prepared.
Luckily, they managed to time the flight perfectly with her nap, which is a big tick already.
“She slept right through takeoff, but eventually she woke up,” Lala said.
So… Now what?
At home during meal times, the little one is often given a piece of lettuce to keep occupied.
Turns out it works in transit too.
“I thought if it works at home, why would it not work on a plane?” Lala explained.
“We were on the plane for almost three hours. I packed a whole head just in case.”
Cause Why Not?
Lala said the baby girl loves to tear things.
She loves to rip into bread (which is a little too messy for a plane) and paper (but they need to ensure none of that winds up in her mouth)
Which makes lettuce the perfect option. It’s safe, healthy, has a fun texture and perfect for working on developmental skills.
“This kept her occupied almost the entire flight. She had so much fun,” Lala said.
Unsurprisingly, the comment section popped off.
“YOU WERE BORN TO BE A MOM!” one person exclaims.
“I have a 14 hour flight with my baby next month. I’ll just bring a whole field,” another agrees.
A third praised: “you are such smart parents!”
The best part? It’s entirely mess free!
“When it’s time to clean up, you can just eat it,” Lala shared.
“This what I’m not only entertaining my baby, but I’m also getting my greens in.”
It might not make it into the official travel essentials list anytime soon, but desperate times calls for creative moms.
Is this even allowed?
In Australia, passengers are generally allowed to bring solid foods onboard, including fresh produce like lettuce.
Let’s be honest—no matter how stressful the day gets, a good viral video can instantly lift your mood. Whether it’s a funny pet doing something silly, a heartwarming moment between strangers, or a wild dance challenge, viral videos are what keep the internet fun and alive.
