But we go quick places like panera bread. He doesn't like to be in his car seat. </p> <p>I'm jealous of the moms out shopping with their babies in their car seat. I can barely make in the car ride to the store. He has to go in the carrier in order for me to shop in peace. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-infant-sleep-at-restaurants#post-434457 Thu, 06 Dec 2012 11:23:15 +0000 lemondrop 434457@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It always depended on what mood he was in. Sometimes great, sometimes not so much. But he only slept in it at restaurants before turning 6 months. After that he got too busy to sleep, but wasn't able to sit in the highchair yet.</p> <p>I do miss the infant seat for things like that though! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-infant-sleep-at-restaurants#post-434451 Thu, 06 Dec 2012 11:20:31 +0000 BabyBoecksMom 434451@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mandb36: Isn't that so frustrating?? I have to think that it's a good thing because it mean's she's observant and taking things in. But geeeez, I would love to have her fall asleep - hah! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-infant-sleep-at-restaurants#post-434409 Thu, 06 Dec 2012 11:05:50 +0000 Sammyfab 434409@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope! He eats and flirts with the waitresses when we go out to eat! We never go out unless it's between naps though because he only really naps in his crib or takes short car naps. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-infant-sleep-at-restaurants#post-434263 Thu, 06 Dec 2012 10:24:11 +0000 sorrycharlie 434263@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've only taken her to lunch at applebees once with my mom! she was wide eyed but well behaved. she fell asleep toward the end. but i had to stand and rock her for a minute. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-infant-sleep-at-restaurants#post-434258 Thu, 06 Dec 2012 10:22:20 +0000 yellowbird 434258@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Never!! She usually blows up her diaper, screams, wants to be held and eats while we're at a restaurant. I'm always the last one eating :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-infant-sleep-at-restaurants#post-434253 Thu, 06 Dec 2012 10:20:42 +0000 BelugaBean 434253@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We haven't gone out to eat in a while because she's been cranky every time we've tried. However, we're trying to go to lunch today so we'll see. Hopefully she'll do anything but cry!</p> <p>@BabyBoecksMom: Our baby is super alert too. It's even hard for her to sleep at home sometimes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-infant-sleep-at-restaurants#post-434237 Thu, 06 Dec 2012 10:15:08 +0000 BabyBoecksMom 434237@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>OMG! Never! I'm so jealous of people who's baby will sleep anywhere. DD is too alert and nosy to fall asleep. We don't go out much w/ her, especially if she's tired because she will only sleep in the car or her crib (forget about trying to get he to sleep any other way) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-infant-sleep-at-restaurants#post-434235 Thu, 06 Dec 2012 10:14:09 +0000 autumnlove 434235@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, she slept a lot in the infant carrier for the first 7 months! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-infant-sleep-at-restaurants#post-434234 Thu, 06 Dec 2012 10:13:31 +0000 yoursilverlining 434234@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>For the first 5 months, LO would just fall asleep in her car seat when we went out. Now she likes to sit on my lap or in a high chair and watch everyone in the restaurant. She is very well behaved though; and its pretty easy to balance her on my lap and eat with one hand. She does try to reach to grab/eat my food though; so I have to be careful of that. If we are out at dinner and out past her usual bedtime; she will people-watch for a while, and then fall asleep either on me or in her car seat. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-infant-sleep-at-restaurants#post-434229 Thu, 06 Dec 2012 10:10:39 +0000 winniebee 434229@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Only if it is really nap time. I misjudged brunch last weekend and did the carseat thing with Tyler. I had to rock him in it in order for him to fall asleep and it took awhile and even then he only took a quick catnap.</p> <p>Otherwise, it's play play play. He doesn't even want to be in the high chair really. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-infant-sleep-at-restaurants#post-434222 Thu, 06 Dec 2012 10:09:21 +0000 mediagirl 434222@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I swear, we can go out and see all these parents out with their babies. they put their babies in their car seats and they just sleep or play through dinner.</p> <p>Our child? No way. It's like she can sense that we are at a restaurant. She wants to be held, cooing loudly, playing with napkins, plates, glasses, silverware, etc while we're there. Perhaps why we have gone out once in the past two months? lol. She's almost 6 months old.</p> <p>Do you have the sleepy restaurant baby or the "there's no way each of you are eating today" baby? </p>
