(I go by the- if they can hold the bag, they can trick or treat- otherwise it is a little ridiculous). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/weird-to-trick-or-treat-with-a-baby#post-1182747 Tue, 29 Oct 2013 16:15:25 +0000 Bao 1182747@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would go, and I would still take a little candy if it were offered ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/weird-to-trick-or-treat-with-a-baby#post-1182744 Tue, 29 Oct 2013 16:14:10 +0000 MrsBrewer 1182744@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes go! Just turn down the candy if you don't feel comfortable taking it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/weird-to-trick-or-treat-with-a-baby#post-1182735 Tue, 29 Oct 2013 16:11:37 +0000 banana 1182735@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I agree! You don't have to take the candy. Just walk around and take pics. I think at 4 months, the experience would still benefit the baby from a sensory perspective! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/weird-to-trick-or-treat-with-a-baby#post-1182702 Tue, 29 Oct 2013 15:59:31 +0000 Bookish 1182702@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@deerylou: Yeah, like the others have said, you don't have to take the candy! Just enjoy it and get some cute pics :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/weird-to-trick-or-treat-with-a-baby#post-1182697 Tue, 29 Oct 2013 15:57:52 +0000 LuLu Mom 1182697@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would go to something like that, but not take her house to house! And I would skip on candy and just walk around and take pics. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/weird-to-trick-or-treat-with-a-baby#post-1182687 Tue, 29 Oct 2013 15:55:19 +0000 shinymama 1182687@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@pui: Ditto. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/weird-to-trick-or-treat-with-a-baby#post-1182684 Tue, 29 Oct 2013 15:54:48 +0000 pui 1182684@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would still go to the event, but I'd say "no thank you" to candy, personally. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/weird-to-trick-or-treat-with-a-baby#post-1182677 Tue, 29 Oct 2013 15:53:11 +0000 deerylou 1182677@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just don't want the shopkeepers (wow, I just sounded terribly old fashioned) to think that we're being greedy. I could totally go to the store and buy my own candy, I just kinda want the experience, and photos. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/weird-to-trick-or-treat-with-a-baby#post-1182664 Tue, 29 Oct 2013 15:50:54 +0000 Shutterbug 1182664@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My parents took me when I was 5 months, mostly to show me off to the neighbors, and for the candy! I say do it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/weird-to-trick-or-treat-with-a-baby#post-1182660 Tue, 29 Oct 2013 15:49:54 +0000 Bookish 1182660@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@deerylou: I'd totally go if we had something like that, and you know our LOs are the same age! There's just nothing (even-wise) I could fit in, or I'd definitely have her in a costume. I looove Halloween! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/weird-to-trick-or-treat-with-a-baby#post-1182655 Tue, 29 Oct 2013 15:48:42 +0000 deerylou 1182655@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DD will be almost 4 months this Halloween, and we have a family costume that we already wore this past weekend to a children's parade. </p> <p>We were thinking about getting dressed up again, and going to a kid-friendly event at the local outdoor mall on Thursday. There will be pumpkin carving, apple bobbing, etc. Participating shops will be handing out sweets to trick-or-treaters. Would it be weird to take DD, and participate? Obviously, she's not going to be eating any candy, nor will she know what the heck is going on. She just really likes to smile at people, and I'm a nutcase about holidays. </p> <p>Acceptable or totally gooberish? I'm tempted to say "not cool" and just stay home. </p>
