I came here to ask this too. I get really wanting to see a movie even though you have an infant, but other people want to see the movie just as badly and if the baby starts crying at a pivotal moment it might break the tension or make important dialogue inaudible for her and at possibly everyone close to her and ruin the movie experience for all involved.

A sitter of some sort just makes more sense than going to the theater with a newborn. Sure, some people say their baby will sleep through the movie and even has before, but that's no guarantee that another baby will or even that those babies would do it more than once.

It just seems more courteous to the other people who paid to see the movie too, and there's no chance the mother would end up having to pay for a ticket then have the money wasted by having to leave half-way through. Plus, I imagine it would be more relaxing and enjoyable to not have to be constantly alert to the baby.

A sitter for a young baby? Really? REALLY? A paid one? It's not like most of them settle for the night either. If you're lucky, you might have a trustworthy parent and perhaps the means to stockpile breastmilk if you do that (no, supplementing is often not an option).

Having a young baby can be a very isolating experience with a high risk of depression. Not everyone can tag team with a partner either to go out. If occasional trips to the cinema with baby are what it takes to help maintain sanity, well, balance that against possible momentary discomfort from other patrons. It is a balancing act.

That said, I would avoid later afternoon/evening sessions myself.

Isn't that the point of baby-sitters, to take care of young'uns you can't or do not want to watch for a bit? And seriously, how much stockpiling would you need to do for a 2-3 hour movie?

[comma_chameleon]

Or *GASP* one bottle of formula if the baby can't go that 2-3 hours without eating.

Contrary to what breast milk fanatics will tell you, formula is not fucking arsenic.

As someone who was allergic to breast milk and was raised on formula, I think I turned out pretty A-Okay. Not saying you shouldn't try and breastfeed if you can (it's beneficial and a good bonding experience too), but one bottle feeding isn't going to kill the kid (and if Dad isn't going to the movie, he can do the feeding, making it a bonding experience for him and baby too.

Hey you dickhead, many babies reject bottles at first. So you have to feed them bottles at some frequency. Unfortunately, many babies start to reject the nipple when they can get the bottle. So you have to be really really sure you want to supplement, and it turns out it isn't easy to do it casually for a lot of babies. Breastfeeding isn't easy for a bunch of people.

You see what I mean? You're fucking ignorant and I'm tired of the judgements.

Also, not everyone has a fucking Dad.

[comma_chameleon]

I'm not judging then for breastfeeding, I'm judging them for taking a week old baby to see a movie when it's not THAT important.

Also, OP mentioned a husband, so presumable this kid has a dad.

And yes, some kids don't take to bottles, and yes some kids don't latch properly to breastfeeding. There's no right or wrong way to feed a kid as long as they're getting proper nutrition.

But thanks for being an asshole and calling me names right out the gate for no reason.

[diet_poison]

holy shit you're being a dick.

what on earth did comma_chameleon say that was so offensive? I just saw them pointing out that not all moms/babies can breastfeed which is true. Nothing was judging moms who do breastfeed.

and this is coming from someone who thinks breastfeeding is the best option whenever possible - it just isn't always possible for both mom and kid.

[(Anonymous)]

So...who's being ignorant and judgmental, person who's calling someone a dickhead for saying that not everyone has to or can breastfeed? Are you reeeeally sure it's not you?

[nyxelestia]

I never understood attachment parenting beyond it being some serious separation anxiety on behalf of the participating parents. Like, seriously, your kid will be fine without you for a few hours, give yourself and them a break.
