Delta flight attendants slammed by new mom for their behavior... do you agree with her

A furious new mom slammed Delta flight attendants for not being 'mom friendly' after a flight she took with her newborn baby.
Valentina Miranda took to social media after the frustrating experience and shared that she got up during the flight with her three-month-old to 'move away from the rest of the passengers to soothe her.'
When the new mom got up to soothe her baby, a flight attendant asked her to leave the area, informing her it was only for the crew.
'As I walked away she whispered "you're technically not allowed to just be standing" while the seat belt sign was not on,' Valentina continued.
'Moments later, she's chatting it up with another passenger in the crew only area for over 10 min. She wasn't a mom and it showed,' she concluded.
The post has since been deleted, but it generated over 600 comments and almost 300 likes while it was live.
Some commenters agreed with Miranda and said she should have been treated with more grace as a new mom with a tiny infant.
Others disagreed and said the flight attendant who scolded her was just doing her job and trying to keep passengers' safe.
Although it may be a nuisance to fly with a baby, infants over seven days old are allowed to fly on Delta Air Lines.
Children under the age of two can also travel with an adult over the age of 18 years old. Parents do not need to purchase a seat for children under two.
Babies on airplanes have divided passengers for years, with the topic widely debated on social media.
In a Reddit thread posted last year, hundreds of users sounded off on whether it was 'selfish' to bring a baby on board a plane.
'Yes. Parents have no choice but to listen to their children's cries but it is incredibly selfish and stupid to force everyone else to suffer with you,' one user argued.
'Yes, it's absolutely selfish. There's no reason to go on a vacation with a young baby,' another agreed.
'Only exception for me would be if there was family emergency. I just always get the vibe that the vacation parents are the type to think their life will just be the same after having a baby.'
However, some stuck up for parents who have to bring their babies on flights with one writing, 'I don't like kids but I understand that they need to travel, especially if they are really young and can't be away from their parents.
'When there's a crying baby, I just tune it out. Flying is not a comfortable or luxury experience anyways, the chairs are too small and too close together, the airlines are the selfish ones.'
'Depends. If it is a travel for fun, then absolutely yes. If it is an important thing like a medical emergency for instance, then it's not selfish but an unfortunate necessity,' another noted.
Airlines have begun to offer alternatives to those who don't want children on their flights, as Japan Airlines launched a feature where passengers can see where babies are seated when booking their tickets.
A popular 'momfluencer' slammed the airline for alienating parents and children, arguing that if you're not flying private, you have to accept you could sit next to anyone.
A Norwegian airline also hopped on the trend by announcing an 'Adults Only' section on flights where children are banned.
