I have been invited to a baby shower where I will know most of the people attending, and have already purchased the gift and everything, but have since found out that my husband has to work, and I have no one to babysit my 10 month old daughter as everyone who could keep her is also gonig to the shower... is it ok to take her to the shower with me? She is a very well-behaved baby (as long as no one tries to take her from me to hold her - that separation anxiety thing) and I most likely would not stay long since she would be with me.
What do you all think? Thanks in advance for your advice...

I emailed one of the hostesses and asked, and she said it would be fine!
Thanks everyone for your great answers and for your support!
And no, it's not being held in a bar ;-) LOL

I think that women love seeing babies at a *baby* shower! Of all places to bring her, there she would probably be most welcomed! I just wouldn't stay if she starts crying for a long time. Women love cooing over babies, I've always brought my daughter to baby showers, as well as other friends I have.

First of all there will always be a sale. Every week one of the stores has a sale on all there baby stuff. I too had a baby boy and he was a very big boy (9lbs @ birth) and fit in newborn diapers for a couple of weeks. He is now 5 months and fits in size 3. I wouldn't worry so much about buying them because they will always be on sale and as far as other stuff goes.... don't buy it you might get it for you shower and then you don't won't doubles. I ran into the same problem that at the shower I got the stuff but doubles because some people didn't take it off my registry. I think that is part of the whole thing. Just as long as they have receipts. Target is a bear to return stuff. I think you just need to take a deep breath and relax and enjoy the rest of your pregnancy and not let this bother you. Just enjoy the shower and all the people that want to share this special time with you.

Your baby is beautiful. I would call ahead to ask the hostess before taking her. This is a shower to celebrate the birth of another baby and the attention should be on this mother and that happy event. It would also give all the guests a needed break from their little angels. If this is a very personal group of friends, it shouldn't be a real problem, as long as you get the okey doke from the hostess.

YOu could ask the hostess to be sure, but I would be surprised to find out that it would be a problem. A baby at a baby shower! That's not the least bit obsurd!

I think it would be just fine. If you're concerned, ask the mother-to-be how she feels about it. Chances are everyone will love to have a baby at a baby shower.

I don't think it's a problem. At my baby shower people brought their kids and I didn't even think twice about it. I knew everyone really well and thought it was fun they brought their kids. Afterall, a new mom is very motherly...and the sight of little ones is a reminder of the little bundle she'll have in a few months.

I would ask them to double check, but typically people don't mind when the lil ones come with you. My best friend's shower had I think 10-15 extra babies, it was so cute.

There is no problem to take your baby with you in my opinion, but you should tell the baby shower organization if it´s ok for them too.
Simple ;)

Most likely it is fine....I've brought my son to one or two before. And I had a couple cousins with kids at mine. But call the host and just double check, but I've never known anyone to say no.
