To take a 7 month old to a funeral service?

[Crustyjugglers]

I don't have anyone to watch my 7 month old tomorrow and would like to pay my respects to someone. (Not family or close friend but a lovely old gent I've know for the the last couple of years.)
WIBU to take her to the service in funeral directors? She's generally very good and I was thinking about lurking at the back & if she started squawking or anything I could sneak out? Not too sure what to do!

I had to take my 3 year old to a funeral when I had no other childcare. It's fine I think, as long as you take them out if they start to make noise

Absolutely fine.

If you're prepared to sneak out quickly like you say I would think it was ok.

I took my then 5 month to a funeral. We just stepped out when he made noise. Afterwards people said they never heard him at all and thought he was so well behaved.

I would, death is part of the circle of life, and people tend to like babies and small children at funerals, they lighten the occssion

I took my daughter to a funeral when she was around the same age. We stayed at the back and I had a bottle and a dummy just incase and a few toys. DD mainly napped in her pram and woke towards the end. Hope this helps and hope you're okay💝💝 xx

I took my DD (about 6 months) to my Auntie's funeral. When she started making a noise I got up to take her out but my xBIL took her instead. Nobody batted an eyelid.

Dont see a problem with that.
All my mum's great grandchildren went to her funeral.

Thanks everyone - service successfully negotiated!
