Would you leave your baby...

... asleep in the pram in a dark room which is down a corridor, about 200 yards from where you are spending the evening at a wedding reception? There is no babyphone. The room is completely accessible to everybody who is going in and out of the hotel. You check on your baby every 30 minutes or so, she is normally an excellent sleeper.

Absolutely not.

Babies will sleep through anything, and so once asleep could have been wheeled into the reception.

I took ds to parties when little (non smoking ones) and wore him in a sling. Everyone forgot about him, and it covered up my jelly belly.

Havent read all of these , but would say NO. How do you know who nhas access to the building and i ould just feel weird leaving dd somewere else. Why couldnt they just have the pram in the function ??Unless kids werent invited ? I went to someoenes wedding and dd (9-10mths old I think)slept in the function hall in her flat buggy next to our table which was against the far hall wall. She even slept through a loud band playing !!!! When at another wedding , we had a baby sitter suppied by hotel in our room for the later evening bit.

Nope, wouldn't do it.

I have taken my DD to a wedding reception & a 30th Birthday party. Both occasions she fell asleep & stayed in her pram, next to me or DH.

I don't understand how people put their own enjoyment over the needs of a baby in circumstances like that. If they need to go out at a time that clashes with the childs sleep, get a sitter.

No - would be worried that any old person could come wander past and get hold of baby. Also would not be happy to check only every 30mmoins.

magicfarawaytree · 13/10/2005 22:20

no because paedophiles / abusers / abducters look like everyone else.

magicfarawaytree · 13/10/2005 22:21

took 6 week old to wedding and she slept through mega loud music.

MrsSpoon · 13/10/2005 22:26

No I wouldn't. I would also have thought a "good sleeper" would have been able to sleep through the noise of the party, once they were off to sleep.

No.
