I think it depends on where it is... If its at a stuffy restaurant, maybe not, but ok at someone's house? I'd ask! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-shower-etiquette#post-585329 Thu, 21 Feb 2013 21:32:30 +0000 tysonja 585329@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i love babies at baby showers, but i'd just check about the policy of this one! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-shower-etiquette#post-585325 Thu, 21 Feb 2013 21:31:43 +0000 lovehoneybee 585325@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wouldn't have had a problem with it but I'd call and check. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-shower-etiquette#post-585316 Thu, 21 Feb 2013 21:30:48 +0000 Happygal 585316@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Lemon-Lime and SunshineandSushi: this was my first thought, too. Especially if the baby is young and people ask how the delivery went, etc. So for me, it depends. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-shower-etiquette#post-585270 Thu, 21 Feb 2013 21:24:09 +0000 sunshineandsushi 585270@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I can see it both ways- its all about babies, but also feel like they could steal focus from the mom-to-be. I recently went to a shower and there were a couple other babies there and it was no big deal. </p> <p>Does it make a difference that I have twins? ;) I think I'd only bring one, if I do. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-shower-etiquette#post-585247 Thu, 21 Feb 2013 21:21:43 +0000 blackbird 585247@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Depends where it's at, too. Mine was at a nice restaurant and kids were not invited. Definitely ask </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-shower-etiquette#post-585232 Thu, 21 Feb 2013 21:19:59 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 585232@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I find it kind of odd, but that's just me and I have not been a shower host or a shower honoree. Babies steal the show, if your friend definitely likes all eyes on her and the baby shower is her moment to shine I'd keep the baby at home. However, just like you wouldn't bring an extra adult without asking the host first, I would run it past the hostesses. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-shower-etiquette#post-585216 Thu, 21 Feb 2013 21:17:29 +0000 shopaholic 585216@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I enjoyed all the babies at my baby shower! I mean, it's all about babies right?! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-shower-etiquette#post-585212 Thu, 21 Feb 2013 21:16:47 +0000 MrsRcCar 585212@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would ask the people throwing it, but I wouldn't see an issue in it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-shower-etiquette#post-585202 Thu, 21 Feb 2013 21:16:17 +0000 meredithNYC 585202@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Definitely not! Unless it's a regional thing? I'm from the Midwest and it's pretty standard. I guess the only thing that might be weird is if you had an older son - if only because he would be bored/weirded out about all the pregnancy and childbirth conversations? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-shower-etiquette#post-585197 Thu, 21 Feb 2013 21:16:01 +0000 prettylizy 585197@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't think so :) I brought LO to a shower when she was 6 days old! It was fun to show her off. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-shower-etiquette#post-585193 Thu, 21 Feb 2013 21:15:37 +0000 heffalump 585193@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would ask. I usually feel like babies are welcome but once I asked and was told no due to space issues. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-shower-etiquette#post-585192 Thu, 21 Feb 2013 21:15:34 +0000 Bao 585192@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hmm...I would just ask first! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-shower-etiquette#post-585184 Thu, 21 Feb 2013 21:14:11 +0000 sunshineandsushi 585184@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Is it bad etiquette to bring your LO to a baby shower? </p>
