The grueling 18-hour trip was supposed to be made easier by purchasing abassinet seat.
However, her hopes quickly vanished when shewasnt assigned the spot she paid foron the flight from Istanbul.
The mother thought the worst was over after being reassigned to a vacant bassinet seat.
Yet, four hours passed without it being installed.
I ended up holding my baby the whole time.
I couldnt even eat, she wrote.
I ended up leaving bloodstains on myseat.
No one offered to hold my baby.
I flew with Turkish Airlines last month and had a similar issue.
They didnt seem to care about helping parents with smallkids, one parent commented.
Im so sorry you experienced this.
I wish I was seated next to you so I could help hold yourbabywhile you ate, another said.
The inconsistency in service shocked her, leaving her questioning the airlines treatment of passengers based on ethnicity.
That was an awful experience for your first time traveling with your baby.
I hope you get some compensation, one viewer wrote.
It doesnt matter if I get compensated or not.
What matters is that people heard my story, and everyone shares their own experiences, the mother replied.
