How young is too young for SDC??

Preachin_Bill · April 08, 2016, 11:22:14 AM

Just had my first child--a daughter! Family usually goes to SDC in June and I'm wondering if a 2 month old is too little! $:-\$ Can't miss SDC!!!

Congratulations! I took my son when he was 3 months old. Of course, I don't think he got much out of it, but it was very easy to be in the park with him. This was several years ago, but if I had to take a baby again, I'd choose a day with low attendance.

Our son was almost 4 months when we took him the first time. The flooded Mine is a great place to calm them down and put them to sleep since it's dark and cool inside

Lol for what it's worth I've been going since before I was born.

We took our kids in the first months. There are lots of opportunities for some great pictures. Make some memories.

You can bring a baby of any age probably, but someone needs to stay with them that will be mostly walking and not riding or seeing any shows. You can take them on FM only if they wont cry 1 time in there. They will eventually cry at the time that you most want them not to. So, you cant take them in any show, on the train, or in the cave because people want to hear the show or the guide. Restaurant is also a bad place to take them. Having a crying baby anywhere ruins everybodys day. If they cry, take them to the bathroom PRONTO. Dont ruin everyones day.

I don't think that a crying baby ruins everyone's day. Anyone with children will understand that they are going to cry. I think you could do the train with a young child and any outdoor shows. I would maybe stay away from the long indoor shows. I also think that you could go to restaurants with the child because no one expects it to be silent while they are eating.

congrats on the little one, yes take them start the memories now.. Baby cries? handle it accordingly. Have a great visit.>!

Baby cries? They're more likely to sleep! It's the older kids who whine, complain, yell, and cry. That's when it becomes irritating.

I know each person is different with regards to how they do a park. For me personally I would wait until my kid was old enough to actually enjoy the park and not just "be there" but if it is important to take an infant to the park, please take weather and especially heat into account as they affect infants a lot faster than older children.

I guess just use common sense.

Early June would not be bad. Much later I wouldnt. Heck, I do not want to be there in July myself so... As for the crying, that is an instant eye roll. Babies cry. As parents we deal with it appropriate like. If I hear one cry I dont throw my fork down in a tantrum and have my whole trip ruined. Demand that the infant is removed. Come on. Its those older unsupervised ones you have to look out for.

Congats on the new wee one! Its an exciting time. The babe will get NOTHING out of it but thats okay. Enjoy every moment!!

No. You cant hear the train robbery with a baby crying. Seriously, it sounds like most of the people on here want to ruin everones day. If the baby cries, it needs something. So you have to take it to the bathroom. Its common sense, common courtesy, and just something you have to do when you have a baby. Dont let them cry it out. If people arent going to be smart, then everyone will leave quickly. Nobody wants to be around a crying baby. Its very annoying.

Just because a baby cries doesn't mean that you need to take it to a bathroom.

Laroy,
I suggest you give up on this discussion, you are waayy outnumbered here.
It is an "age" thing.
Admit you have been out voted on this topic and move on. LOL..
