Meet the Founder

Hi, I’m April—mom of four, nutrition pro of 20+ years, serial traveler, and the person who invented a better way to survive takeoff with little ones.

AIRLINEPOPS™ started like most great ideas do: out of desperation. One bumpy flight, four cranky kids, and a full row of fellow passengers silently begging for peace. My toddler was in full meltdown mode from ear pressure, and I thought… why isn’t there something that actually helps?

So I got to work.

With over two decades in nutrition, I started playing with ingredients I knew were safe and calming—magnesium, vitamin C, fiber, and a touch of melatonin. I talked to other moms, tested blends, and enlisted some very honest kid taste-testers. And what came out of it? A delicious, functional lollipop that helps equalize ear pressure, calms nerves, and actually tastes good.

Turns out I wasn’t alone.
From road trips to bedtime battles to long-haul flights—everywhere we tested AIRLINEPOPS™, parents said the same thing:

“These are genius. Can I get more?”
