My baby didnt like loud noises in the beginning, she is 6 months old now and I still wouldnt take her. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-take-a-nb-to-a-movie#post-358055 Wed, 24 Oct 2012 11:20:38 +0000 ladyfingers 358055@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wouldn't just because I'd be afraid they'd start crying and I'd be mortified. I'm totally that person in the movie theater who makes a big deal out of any interruptions. </p> <p>And I didn't even think about the noise factor until I read other people's responses. So apparently I'm a really fit parent lol. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-take-a-nb-to-a-movie#post-357880 Wed, 24 Oct 2012 10:26:52 +0000 loveisstrange 357880@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No way. Movies are WAY too loud for baby's little eardrums. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-take-a-nb-to-a-movie#post-357873 Wed, 24 Oct 2012 10:25:07 +0000 mrsjyw 357873@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope. If we really wanted to see a movie, we'd have one of our parents watch the baby. Most likely, we'd skip it altogether though~ </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-take-a-nb-to-a-movie#post-357415 Wed, 24 Oct 2012 05:27:45 +0000 sorrycharlie 357415@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No way, noise!</p> <p>I'm pretty sure my theater does "mom and me" type movies early in the day with lights &amp; lower sound. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-take-a-nb-to-a-movie#post-357406 Wed, 24 Oct 2012 05:14:45 +0000 Andrea 357406@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No because I think it is too loud in there for a NB. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-take-a-nb-to-a-movie#post-357405 Wed, 24 Oct 2012 05:12:29 +0000 Penny Lane 357405@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wouldn't, because I'm terrified of him crying. I'd have no problem nursing him there, but he is SUCH a loud eater, it wouldn't be all that much better than him crying!</p> <p>I would go to the baby friendly ones though, totally. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-take-a-nb-to-a-movie#post-357391 Wed, 24 Oct 2012 04:12:49 +0000 Pink Champagne 357391@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sounds like the perfect opportunity for a date night out for mom and dad while you leave LO at home!<br /> Personally, I would only take my baby to one of the baby friendly matinees that they have around here. It's too loud otherwise.<br /> Or, does your cable provider have movies on demand that you can rent at home while they're still in theaters? I've done that before, it was perfect for pregnancy because you can pause it if you need to get up and use the bathroom :). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-take-a-nb-to-a-movie#post-357348 Wed, 24 Oct 2012 01:53:38 +0000 Rosie Girl 357348@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I did! With both my kids. DS slept the whole time, and DD woke up, but I just fed her and she fell back asleep! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-take-a-nb-to-a-movie#post-357277 Tue, 23 Oct 2012 23:38:02 +0000 sarac 357277@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I did! I just wore something easy, so the second she made a peep, I just shoved a boob in her mouth. People in front of us even complimented us on how good she was about it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-take-a-nb-to-a-movie#post-357099 Tue, 23 Oct 2012 20:28:06 +0000 heffalump 357099@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My bil took their lo with no problems. I think it just depends on your baby. Mine had reflux and was never one to be able to sit still and quiet, so it never would have worked for us. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-take-a-nb-to-a-movie#post-356975 Tue, 23 Oct 2012 19:23:58 +0000 chopsuey 356975@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wouldn't.. only because the surround sound is so loud. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-take-a-nb-to-a-movie#post-356973 Tue, 23 Oct 2012 19:23:00 +0000 immabeetoo 356973@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope I wouldn't want the exposure to the surround sound, etc. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-take-a-nb-to-a-movie#post-356972 Tue, 23 Oct 2012 19:22:33 +0000 cyndistar3 356972@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I took both my lo's to the movies when they were newborns but they were both really quiet and slept the whole time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-take-a-nb-to-a-movie#post-356970 Tue, 23 Oct 2012 19:20:44 +0000 MaisyMay 356970@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm looking forward to taking LO to the drive in when she's here. That way if she cries, we'll be the only ones to hear it. Plus I'll get some privacy if she needs to nurse. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-take-a-nb-to-a-movie#post-356968 Tue, 23 Oct 2012 19:20:06 +0000 Mrs. Pen 356968@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would be more concerned about the noise level than him crying. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-take-a-nb-to-a-movie#post-356966 Tue, 23 Oct 2012 19:16:44 +0000 sunny 356966@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No, like Autumnlove, my baby crying would stress me out to no end and I don't want to be *that* parent.</p> <p>I would go to the matinees designated for babies though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-take-a-nb-to-a-movie#post-356949 Tue, 23 Oct 2012 19:03:22 +0000 autumnlove 356949@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No, I would be too paranoid about being the parent with the crying baby! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-take-a-nb-to-a-movie#post-356948 Tue, 23 Oct 2012 19:02:39 +0000 hilsy85 356948@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope, I wouldn't want him around that many people and in a noisy theater. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-take-a-nb-to-a-movie#post-356947 Tue, 23 Oct 2012 19:02:07 +0000 Foodnerd81 356947@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't think I would. Like @mrs. bird: , there are theaters near me that do the baby friendly matinee, but they are usually during the day so if one of you is working, might not work anyway.<br /> But I do think if you go to an earlier showing that might not be as crowded (so, a few weeks after it opens), and sit near the door, it could be doable.<br /> I saw an opening night midnight showing of Wanted and there was a women with a teeny tiny baby-- probably less than a month-- and I just remember thinking there were so many germs around. But it was SUCH a small baby. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-take-a-nb-to-a-movie#post-356946 Tue, 23 Oct 2012 19:01:47 +0000 Mrs.B 356946@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Probably not because of germs and all the noise. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-take-a-nb-to-a-movie#post-356940 Tue, 23 Oct 2012 18:56:39 +0000 matador84 356940@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrsbird i wish! that sounds great. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-take-a-nb-to-a-movie#post-356939 Tue, 23 Oct 2012 18:56:02 +0000 Arden 356939@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wouldn't. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-take-a-nb-to-a-movie#post-356927 Tue, 23 Oct 2012 18:46:51 +0000 mrs. bird 356927@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>do you have baby movie showings near you? our theaters have some shows where they lower the volume &amp; leave the lights dimmed, but not as dark for parents with lil babies so they can go to the movies with their LOs. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-take-a-nb-to-a-movie#post-356924 Tue, 23 Oct 2012 18:46:23 +0000 googly-eyes 356924@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No but my NB cries a lot lately. When she was under a month, in a world where there weren't germs, sure! Yours is 7w right? You have to have a life, that's what my MIL tells me. I'd go and then just sit near the door, but it wouldn't be as enjoyable as going without LO just because of the stress of LO maybe crying. Maybe I'm just suffering from being inside all the time..but yeah I'd go, lol. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-take-a-nb-to-a-movie#post-356920 Tue, 23 Oct 2012 18:44:38 +0000 matador84 356920@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH and I are dying to see the movie Lincoln when it comes out. LO is usually super awesome and quiet in his car seat but still just the thought of him making a peep during a movie makes me nervous! </p>
