Should I bring my 4 month old to baseball games????

Question

Should I bring my 4 month old to baseball games????
My Husband bought baseball tickets for a MLB series for next week. He has tickets to 3 of the 4 games in the series. I told him I would go before we had the baby (I was pregnant at the time). Now that we have a baby we will have to bring her because we have no one to watch her. She is 4 months and I’m really nervous. Two of the games are in the evening and one is a day game. I don’t really want to go, but I don’t want to disappoint my husband. He's so good to me and really enjoys going to the games with me and doesn't think it's a big deal to bring our baby. He told me to see how one game goes before I 'throw in the towel', but I don’t even want to try that. What should I do? Please help!!

Answer 1

I brought my 3 month old to Camden Yard to see the Orioles and ed Sox play. I see lots of babies there. The parks are usually great about letting in little diaper bags. We had the baby in a Bjorn and he was fine, didn't mind the cheering corwd or anything. The park even gave him a little certificate to comemerate his first game. With the two of you it will be easy to pass the baby back and forth when you get tired of holding her.

Games For 4 Month Old

Answer 3

Unless you are absolutely certain your little one will panic while at the game, do go once. Lots of rookies love it -- there's so much to look at, there's that huge green lawn in front of her, Daddy gets excited (and if he's a good daddy, he'll explain things to her as the game progresses), and the entire crowd sometimes lets out a roar. Most kids can pick up that This Is Not A Scary Place despite the general hubbub with bursts of frenzy. It's a massive welter of Things Happening All Around, and Mommy and Daddy are there for security.

I'd suggest a night game, no worries about sunburn, and as night-night time approaches she'll just drift off on a lap or shoulder. And maybe get on camera, because that's always so cute.

Besides, the baby gets in free, and that's something she'll probably never get to do again.

Answer 4

I go to many minor league games, where the stadium is much cozier than a MLB park.
A big risk is foul balls. And I've seen more than one come close to hitting a child. Some hit the child,. My wife & I love baseball, but didn'ttakeourchild until shewas 5 years old.
Also, if the baby is restless, would you enjoy the game?
Have him go with a buddy, you'd be awfully uncomfortable and you wouldn't enjoy the game.

Answer 5

Bringing a 4 month old - to me - is not a good idea. Think of how noisy it will be, her/his poor little ears will be in hell for the entire game, and possibly afterwards. Even though you may disappoint your husband, your baby's health is more important. Can't you get ANYONE to watch your baby for the few hours you will be gone for the game? If not, well, the decision is ultimately yours but make sure to think hard about it. Good luck honey:)

Answer 6

Try, you might be surprised. just make sure to bring lots of food and her carseat so she can sleep if she wants. If you can't go to the other 2 games at least you tried and your husband cannot argue with that. Then he can take a friend. Also, if you go to the day game, make sure to bring LOTS of baby sunblock. We have taken our 6 month old to minor league games and she loved it because she got to sit in the grass(we got the cheap seats.)

Answer 7

Sure you can take her, you see babies all the time at games. There's plenty of areas where you can take her and walk around and it's very safe, in the park I mean, in case she cries or needs to be changed or fed. And make sure if its a day game that she has on sunscreen. It'll be fun for the whole family, and your husband will really enjoy having his girls with him.

Answer 8

well..you can if you want. But when my baby was about that age I took her to a restaraunt, not realizing how crowded it would be...and all the people and their voices FREAKED her out, and she cried the whole time. It broke my heart. I dont think it would be the wisest thing to do. Not only would it be too much for her, you wouldnt be able to fully enjoy yourself either

Tell him to bring a friend or his brother. You don't need to feel bad about it, hubby will get over it and do as you wish because he loves and cares for you and the baby.
