I had to go see fast and the furiouse when it first came out. I refused to leave my daughter also, she was 3 weeks and she watched the whole thing without any crying. That movie had alot of loud car noises in it, and she had never had a problem. Just be sure to sit where you can leave easiely if you need to. she should be just fine.

I understand that she's not a crier, my son isn't either, but even so the volume of the movie plus the movements and flashing lights on the screen could set her off.
My mom took me to my first movie when I was 4, and she had to take me out. Ditto for my friends with their moms. With my sister and brother, she waited until they were 6 before they went.
I don't think it's ever appropriate to take an infant to a movie. I work security for advance screenings, and at last nights movie, a woman brought her baby. It looked to be about two months. About twenty minutes in, she had to get up and leave. After about ten minutes, she came back in, sat down, and clamped the baby to her breast. That worked until the baby was full, and she stopped nursing. Then at a loud moment in the score, the baby woke up, and she missed the entire rest of the movie.
Would it be impossible to leave the baby with one of his grandparents? Or why don't you check to see if there are baby screenings in your area? At a theatre close to me, they hold screenings on a certain day of the week where people are invited to bring infants and small children. They don't turn the lights all the way down, and since everyone else has a baby, if yours would get upset and cry, no one would be able to complain.

I have been to theaters that the sound is very loud and i have been to theaters that the sound isnt loud. Find out from people first how the sound is. The theater I go to I would take my 9 week old baby to without hesitation. As for all the idiots out there complaining about wasting money at a theater well any responsible parent would walk out of the movie if there baby started crying or fussing. What do u think lobbies are for. Good Luck

The sound should be fine. Although you say she's not a crier, it'll be her first time at the theater so you don't know what she'll do.
7 months might be okay. There's some theaters that allow mommy's to attend movies with their babies. So if yours starts screaming, the rest of the audience won't fly off the handle.
If you go, you should just make sure you're seated close to an exit. That's what I did when I took my little sister to the theater as a baby. She was about 9-10 months old.

I don't think it's a good idea to take her to theatre now. She is not ready yet to stand the loud noise or she can be easily bored staying in the same position for a long time. if u want to change her position or soothe her, it would disturb other people. Her hearing organs are not mature enough yet , the sound can harm much. I have a daughter of same age , I would rather prefer a baby sitter- it'd be good both for the baby and you guys to enjoy the time.

Its probably going to be to loud for the baby with surround sound, special effects and the general public. She will most likely start crying and become annoying to some people. Try watching a movie at home with the lights out and the sound unsually high. Then note her reaction before you try the public theater.

In general, I think your fellow movie goers will find that it's quite rude of you to bring your baby to the movie. Even though you are sure she won't cry, she might-- and that's offensive and uncalled for. Besides crying, babies make a lot of noise --gurgling, cooing, laughing, etc and do not know proper movie etiquette.
Another answerer suggested bringing her to a late late show. I disagree. She's not going to sleep through a movie that has an optimized sound system. Movie theaters are LOUD, and they're supposed to be.
My only suggestion is to check your theater to see if there's a kiddie movie showing that you and your husband would enjoy. Sometimes theaters have shows that welcome crying babies just so that the parents can get out.
Why can't you leave her with your parents or your husband's parents if you are uncomfortable leaving her with a sitter? You mentioned that you have friends who have babies, wouldn't they be interested in taking your baby for a few hours, with the promise that you'd do the same for them if they'd like to catch a movie next week?

Well as mmuch as love children, I really hate to be disturbed at a public movie by kids crying. Heck I don't even like it when adults talk during the movie.
AS far as volume in movies I would say that at this young of an age he ears are too sensitive. I wouldn't take mine to one.
Maybe a family member can watch the baby for you?

To a disney movie? yes! To an adult movie, please dont! I know you really want to get out and your a great mom for not wanting to leave her with a sitter yet, but I (and probably alot of other women) like to go to the movies to get away from the children for a few hours. If you do decide to take her, take her when she normally sleeps and go to the lobby if she cries. Your already a great mom if you are concerned about this in the first place, nothing worse than the best part of the movie and a baby cries or cell phone rings. Good luck!

I think it may be a little loud for her right now, since she's only 7 months old, but they have at some theaters days where they have a movie for people that have kids. If you want you can look into that. They don't have it at all theaters, but they do at some.

She is too young - the volume will be disturbing and she'll cry and disrupt the other folks. Wait until she's old enough to go to a G-rated movie that she would enjoy. Otherwise wait a few more months when you can trust a sitter and make a night of it with your hubby.
