Bringing Baby to a Movie

Ava stopped being so fussy and she did
wonderful when we went shopping for the
day. My husband and I love to watch
movies and eat at restaurants when he's
off of work. Instead of always asking my
mom to watch her, we'd like to bring her
with us. I know it's fine to bring her
to a restaurant, but what about bringing
her to a movie? I've never seen anyone
bring their baby to a movie. If I plan
it right, she may even sleep through the
whole thing. Of course i'd walk out if
she'd cry, but I think she'd do fine.

The only thing I would worry about would
be the surround-sound speakers. It might
get too loud in there for her little ears.
That might just be me being paranoid
though.

The tv's always loud over here and she
sleeps through it. I know that a
newborn's hearing is kind of muffled.
I'd have to look into that. I never
thought of it that way. Thanks.

If you decide to go for it I suggest going
to a matinee, there will be less people
then.

I'd be annoyed having a movie disturbed by
a baby to be honest, and i'd never take a
baby somewhere like that.
However, if you feel it ok to do then i'd
suggest you sit near the exit so that you
can leave quickly without interrupting as
many people as possible.

Personally, I wouldn't do it for the two
reasons already mentioned here. Firstly
- it'd be far too loud for a baby's ears
and secondly, i'd be worried about
irritating other patrons.

Emma, you dont know about the guzzo
theaters and moms and baby day??
One of the theater chains here has a mom
and baby day (i think weekly). Everyone
goes with their babies and it's a place to
meet other .S.A.H.M.
" enjoy a new film in a "baby friendly"
environment. On site: change tables &
wipes, stroller parking, bottle warming,
welcome gifts and more... Reduced sound
to protect little ears. Admission is
$9.00 (deux-montagnes $8.00). Infants are
free. Dad's and caregivers are welcome
too."
it's called movies for mommies and they
offer it in few diff provinces here.
You could check out your area and seeif
they do that.

that is the first thing that I think of
when I see mothers bringing their babies
to the movies....Even young small
children.....I dont' really care about the
disturbing other people....Just don't
want/need my baby ill.

people who will be super annoyed at any
sound the baby makes and not to mention
the air conditioning , sound and filthy
germs.

No because the guzzos are all out of the
way for me and I joined a great moms and
tots program in my area that I went to
almost daily. And i'm not a big movie
person. Sit still for 2 hours! Ha!
Lol

Some women don't have the luxury of having
a baby sitter. I know I didn't. My
daughter, and my son before her, went with
me nearly everywhere. Since I was
breastfeeding, it was only normal to
always have my child with me.
I took her to movie theaters and out to
dinner. I'd get up and walk out if she
was being fussy. I'd usually timed it so
she'd sleep through.
When she was born, I told my husband we
were going to make sure she knew how to
behave in a restaurant and the only way I
knew how to make sure that happened was to
take her to restaurants. She is a pro at
it. 
as babies get older and their awake
periods are longer and they are doing
more, taking them to the movies isn't easy
(or fun!) for anyone.

Jess they have that here too.
Basically they have a specific theatre for
mom and babies where you can go and meet
other moms. Its awesome but the movie
selection kinda sucks cause they wont play
violent or horror film as to scare the wee
ones and like blaze said the sound is
reduced and all amenties are included.
Personally I havent done it I have friends
who have and loved it, I cant sit still
longer than 30 mins than I get fidgity, im
hyperactive lol!

The theathers we have here are huge, but
not that many people go during the day.
I think if we'd go to a daytime show to a
movie it would be doable. She's not
fussy anymore. If she would fuss by any
chance i'd take her out immediately. She
doesn't just start crying all of a sudden.
If it's timed right she'd probably sleep
through it. I don't feel like it's too
loud either. Has anyone done it besides
ingi?
Thanks

That's a good point, but there's also a
lot of people at the stores and i've taken
her shopping more than once. Also, for
the holidays she was around 40+ relatives
a few of which were sick and she's fine,
so you never know.
The chairs do kind of freak me out. I
hate thinking about everyone else's heads
that have touched those seats.

please dont take this the wrong way, but I
can find only one way to say it...(i luv u
ahead of time lol)
just because you've done one thing, doesnt
mean you can continue exposing her to
nastiness... Its pretty much unavoidable
when it comes to grocery stores and such..
Just because you've done it before doesnt
make it right. We as parents are supposed
to protect our children at all costs, not
voluntarily expose them to harsh
environments when we can do otherwise.
Remember I love you
