She loves them, but DHs family is a huge fireworks family, so it's not a surprise. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/babies-and-fireworks#post-2215253 Mon, 22 Jun 2015 12:18:35 +0000 NeekieRose 2215253@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@regberadaisy: I guess we haven't been that close to them for the sound to be that loud? I have found that the city displays (suburban city) sound more like thunder, and maybe not even that loud. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/babies-and-fireworks#post-2214473 Sun, 21 Jun 2015 06:46:48 +0000 GrapeCrush 2214473@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@regberadaisy: G was 14 months the first time and A was 11 months. They both just stared at them. Neither were scared </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/babies-and-fireworks#post-2214427 Sat, 20 Jun 2015 22:54:03 +0000 HLK208 2214427@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>B fell asleep during fireworks (15 months) and E was totally fascinated (13 months). N will almost be a year old and I bet she won't like them.</p> <p>Fireworks scared me until I was 10 haha so I'm surprised my kids do so well with them! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/babies-and-fireworks#post-2214424 Sat, 20 Jun 2015 22:37:44 +0000 BabyBoecksMom 2214424@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DD1 is sensitive to sounds so we has noise reducing headphones </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/babies-and-fireworks#post-2214323 Sat, 20 Jun 2015 17:50:57 +0000 namaste 2214323@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>There were "surprise" fireworks at an event we went to earlier this year. DD was 3 months and slept through them completely. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/babies-and-fireworks#post-2214283 Sat, 20 Jun 2015 15:33:05 +0000 Cherrybee 2214283@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>E was 4 months old. DH wore her and she was entranced by the pretty colours. A year later, we took her again (16 months) and she loved them! She was pointing into the sky and saying"wow" for days! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/babies-and-fireworks#post-2214281 Sat, 20 Jun 2015 15:24:31 +0000 looch 2214281@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My son is terrified of them...we were at a show and they shot some off and my son just lost it. I was unprepared for them as well, so I get it was largely the surprise.</p> <p>It's making me question what to do for the 4th of July. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/babies-and-fireworks#post-2214117 Sat, 20 Jun 2015 06:43:27 +0000 Foodnerd81 2214117@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@regberadaisy: yeah my baby never would have slept through the noise and excitement. So we have not been. She might be able to stay up this year but we live in a big city so the fireworks are a huge event, not something I'm going to bring an almost 2 year old too. Maybe if there was a little show somewhere local she could handle it. I'm ok with missing it for a few more years and just celebrating the day. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/babies-and-fireworks#post-2214111 Sat, 20 Jun 2015 03:03:07 +0000 regberadaisy 2214111@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@NeekieRose: it's been a while since I went to see fireworks but your baby also through all that noise?! My babies are not that good of a sleeper LOL </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/babies-and-fireworks#post-2214054 Fri, 19 Jun 2015 22:03:17 +0000 Mrs Green Grass 2214054@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We took D last year at 28 monyhs and h turned into a complete crazy person about an hour before they started and wouldn't sit still during. We had to get up. But I would probably still do it over again. With a baby I would be even more likely to stay out. I would just try to put Lo down at normal bedtime. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/babies-and-fireworks#post-2214040 Fri, 19 Jun 2015 21:33:32 +0000 NeekieRose 2214040@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Took DD1 at 8 months and planning on taking DD2 at 3 months. The baby can always just sleep, like she does anywhere and everywhere! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/babies-and-fireworks#post-2214033 Fri, 19 Jun 2015 21:07:39 +0000 Ra 2214033@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We took B last year at 13 months and he loved them! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/babies-and-fireworks#post-2214015 Fri, 19 Jun 2015 20:42:08 +0000 regberadaisy 2214015@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>How old was your LO the first time you took them to see fireworks?</p> <p>This is the first year where LO's bedtime is late enough for fireworks. And the first year I don't think she will be scared by them! Butttt baby sister will only be 10m and I'm thinking she is probably too young. She gets pretty cranky if she's up past her bedtime so fireworks doesn't seem worth it to deal with that. Maybe I should just have DH take her and I stay home with the baby?<br /> We have decent fireworks very nearby so they wouldn't really have to camp out too long beforehand. </p>
