Moms, how old were your Infants before you took them to the Movie Theater ??

I don’t know... I’ve thought about this before too and the only other thing I think about is the baby starting to get fussy and disturbing the movie for others

Some theaters have “infant screenings” where infants are expected to cry, nurse whatever. It’s not as loud as I thought and it’s great not having to be self conscious about your baby being a baby. I know Nitehawk Cinema (one in prospect park and one in Williamsburg) does it every Tues.

These are in Ga ??

We took our 4 month old but literally had to get up in the movie like 10 times lol eventually we just stood by the door and watched the movie from there. It was fun but being on edge wondering if he's gonna stay quiet wasnt 😂 I think we'll just watch our movies from home until he gets a little bigger. I also think it's too loud for his ears depending on the movie

I see ! Lolz yes I think I may wait till he’s a lil older or checknoutvthe infant screenings the other mother on here mentioned !

I was thinking we could maybe go to a drive-in theatre with ours. I don’t trust her to not fuss.

I still haven’t even been to a drive in for myself so yessss that’s definitely something to plan ❤️🙌🏾‼️‼️

I had my son last January and i was taking him to the dollar kids movies at the start of last summer. Lol

Make sure to bring noise cancelling headphones for your baby! Their eardrums, like you said, are extra sensitive and can easily be damaged due to loud sounds and places

A few weeks old, but I brought ear protection.

ODEON cinemas have a few infant friendly cinemas, I don't have one very close to me but I'm tempted to travel just to be able to go to the cinema again :)

Still haven't taken my first, he's 2. I don't take kids to the movies until they can sit through the whole movie with minimal disruption

I took my son when he was 3 months we went to a 9am showing 2 weeks after the movie had come out. I figure if you are going to see a movie at 9am on a Thursday you should expect there to be kiddos there. I am so tired of the world acting like if you have an infant you can't go or do anything.

This too 👆🏻

Do you have a drive in theatre? We’re going to take our 6.5 month old. That way he can talk/giggle/squeal/sleep and it won’t interrupt the movie for anyone else. Also, there are theaters that have “baby mornings” where they have changing stations set up for you and expect crying, etc. while you watch your grownup movie. 🙌🏼

I’m going to have to check on these “Baby morning” showings !!! That’s really cool !! Nd yes ATL has one !

Not Untill 2

My daughter was 2.5 months the first time. She slept through the whole thing

1 reply

But she went to the drive in before that. She was like 1 month

My daughter saw beauty and the beast, she was about 1 and a half

My sons been going regularly since he was 2 months old. At first he just slept through it all then around 8 months he started staying awake longer now at 1 years old he’s up the whole time. But he loves it.

You can always try drive in movies if your city has one 👶🏻

I took my daughter to the movies when she was about 6 months she did so good slept the whole movie lol

I’m mainly worried about the movie being too loud for him !! If he starts to cry I’ll just give him the titty ! But it’s the loudness and his little ears I’m worried most about !!!

I worried about that too. We took him to see Endgame so pretty loud action movie and I would just cover his ears with a heavy blanket on the loud parts and was fine but if you are really worried they make baby noise canceling ear protection.

Noise canceling headphones takes care of this. We took our little one to both movies and concerts starting at 4 weeks but she always had her noise canceling headphones on and slept through most things.

I took my son to see Frozen when he was 3mos. I wore him on my chest and he basically slept the whole way through.

I took mine to see Frozen 2 at about 22 months and she only watched half of it but loved it. I was a mess though with the concessions and the diaper bag and winter coats! Haha it was fun though!

Only taken mine to the baby cinema, think the first time she was 6 months.

My babes is almost 2 and still hasn’t gone

2 years old he loved it x

We took our son at about a month old. He still goes regularly now at 14 months. If you want to go I say do it! The theater never wakes my son up from a nap but we also never made it super quiet for him to go to sleep.

My son saw his first movie a few months ago, Frozen 2 from a classmates bday party. He was 4 1/2

Also if you are really concerned about the noise I believe that make baby earmuffs u can always get. That model that walked the catwalk while breastfeeding had a pair on her baby so I know they do make them 😁

Hopefully priced reasonably 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾👌🏾❤️❤️❤️❤️‼️Thanks ❤️

I took my baby at 2 months old and she was perfect!!!

I took my son tona baby and me screening, were it was ment to be turned down but it really wasn't. He was fine but I wouldn't do it again without noise cancelling headphones.

I think my daughter was about 14 months old. She did fine. She watched, nursed and went to sleep. Not a peep. I think your son will be fine. It'll be good to get out and there's no charge for babies.

I think I’m going to take him to see Mulan when it comes out !!

Huh ??

Its a movie thing where I live at Landmark Theater

I took my daughter when she turned 2. And my son we took him to watch end game when he was 7 months. He’s 18 months now there’s no way he’d sit thru a movie.

Someone up here posted a link to the Baby Banz. I love those too for when I need to go w the baby to a loud soccer game. For baby-friendly movie theater showings, look for a theater in the UES (I don't remember the name).

I think he/she should be at least 3 years old

Okay ! And why do you think that ?

Children are much more sensitive than we are. I would too loud and scared for them. It might be overwhelming experience for children even causing nightmares.

About 6 months. And we have sound canceling earmuffs that she wore.

1 reply

Seems like the earmuffs are a go !!

We took him when he was around 10 months... he was sound asleep in his car seat and had baby headphones on, would have been perfect but the staff ended up kicking us out!!! 😭😭😭 Lol (just for having him with us..)

1 reply

Kicked y’all out for having him there ??! What !

We went at 2 to 3 months and my baby slept the entire time

I think I went with my older one when he was 6-7 months to a Stars and Strollers screening, it’s baby friendly. But just last week we went to see the Sonic movie and my kids both enjoyed it, though were a little restless during the non-action parts. They are 6 years and 2.5 years now!

There are a few Cineplex Odeon theatres that have the Stars and Strollers screenings. They don’t dim all the lights, the sound is lot as loud and there are change tables at the front of the theatre should you need them. It’s been a few years since I’ve gone to one of those screenings though, so I don’t know if they’ve changed much :)

That sounds fun ! Where is that ?

She was 6 months lol and sleep the entire movie, the next one she was a year and let’s just say she was the movie 😂😂😂

10 weeks. In Dallas there was a theater that did “cry baby matinee” every Thursday. They encouraged parents with babies to bring them and everyone who came without a kid was warned they may be loud. It was a wonderful way to get this new mom out of the house.

You can go to a mums and bubs session, I went with my son at 3 months and at 5 months

3 replies

Living in ATL they have to have some of these baby sessions I keep seeing the mothers comment ! Now I just have to find em !

Oh I’m from Australis and they are a common thing here 👍

I bought ear muffs they were 20 bucks on amazon. I would just breastfeed my daughter until she would fall asleep then enjoy the movie👍

Three weeks old :)

It has been almost 3 years since I saw a movie in the cinema - that being said my daughter is 2.5 yrs old, and I don’t think she could possibly sit for long enough to watch a movie 😂

I took my daughter cinema when frozen 2 came out she was about to turn 1 in a few weeks & she loved it! Sat and watched the whole film ate snacks and sang along x

Wow never knew people would take their kids so young 😳. But I wouldn’t take my boy until he can sit and concentrate on the movie xx

I took my children 4 year and 2 year that time ti cinema last 2 year to grinch movie they love it

its recommended by most pediatricians that you actually wait until their closer to 2 years old. Anything over 85 decibels in damaging the an infant's ear.

anything over 85 decibels is damaging an infant's ear. **

Haven't been yet but our local one does a baby and parent one, so atleast everyone knows it could be loud

5 days old to a baby showing to see the new avengers 😋

We went to see Frozen 2 and my daughter is 2.5
