To take a 3 and a half month old to watch Disney on Ice

[chilledteacher]

DS3 was born mid August and will be between 3 and 4 months old over the Christmas period. I've had an email come through for Disney on Ice which looks really good and I was thinking it would be a nice alternative for DS1 and 2 to the pantomime. I know DS3 won't get much out of it, I'm EBF so if we went he would have to come. AIBU in thinking it would be ok to take him? Don't want to ruin it for others by taking him (although tbh from a crying point of view, he tends to stop crying as soon as I feed him). Anyone been in a similar position?

I would if you’re confident that you can quickly stop any crying with boob. Any other event/concert I’d be more hesitant but Disney on Ice will be full of noisy young children. A good idea might be to go with another adult (and their kids if applicable) and get a seat on the end of a row. That way if DS needs an urgent nappy change or just in case he won’t settle then you can step away without having to drag the other 2 with you.

I've just been to Disney on Ice. There was lots of shouting, cheering, singing along. Nothing to disturb.

Is there really nobody that would have baby for a few hours?

If there isn’t then I’d take him but if he won’t settle you will have to leave or ruin it for everyone else, your older ones may be upset if you end up leaving that would be my concern

PinkHeart, I'm EBF so short of leaving my boobs, not an option 😂.

DH will come as well so another adult will be with us. Think I'll book it and hope superboobs work on the day. Worst case scenario, we will go for a walk around the outside whilst DC's stay with DH.

Yes of course! It’s noisy and crazy it’s not the proms
