Could noise have affected baby’s hearing

after some reassurance….

I took my eldest to a soft play today along with my 3 month old. We haven’t been to this soft play before, it was quite small and tables for the parents were quite close together. Halfway through the session I realised that actually it was quite loud. A staff member spoke to me and I had to ask them to repeat twice! It was mainly multiple conversations going on and kids on background screaming/shouting etc along with the odd bell ringing. Since we left I have been worried it has damaged my 3 month olds hearing. There was another baby there but he looked abit older and I’m sure that other babies get taken all the time - I just feel abit uneasy about it. Reading online I saw that babies shouldn’t be exposed to more than 60 decibels which is the level of a normal convo. I’m sure it was defo louder than that!

Are your children’s vaccines up to date?

Honestly your little one will be fine. It's a soft play, not an industrial drill.

I know it's so easy to worry (I once panicked I'd fed 8 month DD cheese and bread in the same day and had poisoned her with salt - until DH pointed out the same age kid across the road ate bags of Wotsits).

No, it’ll be ok
