Taking your newborn, still-developing infant to a loud-ass movie theater isn't exactly good for them whether they're silent or not.

[(Anonymous)]

That is the most ridiculous thing I've read today.

[(Anonymous)]

"Infants are especially susceptible to hearing damage from loud noises because their skulls are thinner, according to the Women’s and Children’s Health Network. Prolonged or sudden exposure to loud noises can damage parts of the inner ear -- the area responsible for hearing -- such as the outer hair cells, inner hair cells and nerves in the inner ear. Damaging even one quarter of these cells can cause hearing loss."

Yeah, pretty ridiculous.

[(Anonymous)]

Right? I'm pretty surprised at the number of people in this thread that don't know loud noises are bad for babies. X Men does not outrank your kid's needs, OP.

[(Anonymous)]

This, seriously! If it doesn't outright hurt the baby, it will at least make them cry for sure.

[(Anonymous)]

DA, How is that ridiculous? As an adult I've seen small kids at movies that made MY ears hurt or that had scary stuff that made ME jump. I'm not saying this is true for every film, but surely this can have impact on a small child.

You do realize that infants have to leave the house eventually, right? The parents could have to take them to daycare or shopping or to the doctor. They could even encounter loud noises along the way or in their own home! Personally, I wouldn't take a newborn or a baby to a movie just because I don't go to movies too often, but I wouldn't begrudge a parent who needs to get out of house taking their older baby to the theater... as long as they take care of the baby's needs.

It's the first few weeks that are problematic. For the first ~2 weeks after birth, babies still tend to be an a 'womb-like' state (not a professional term, just what my mother explained it to me as) - their immune system is still reeling from the baby no longer being connected to the mother via umbilical cord, and no matter how loud the mother's environment was, in-the-womb is a hell of a lot quieter than out-of-the-womb.

So after about 2 weeks or so, the baby would be fine, but yeah, first 2 weeks? I'd be worried about a newborn in the vicinity of those kinds of speakers, too.

[fingalsanteater]

Well yeah, I'd hope know one would take a newborn to a theater. That's dumb. Older than a month I think would be fine.

[(Anonymous)]

I'm not saying to shelter your baby or keep them in a bubble, I just don't understand taking a week-old infant to a movie theater. Sure, take them to a theater when they get a little older, but there are just some places where newborns do not belong. There's a difference between hearing a loud noise when out driving or at home and blasting your poor baby's eardrums for at least 90 minutes.

[(Anonymous)]

Yup.

[fingalsanteater]

Okay, I missed where OP said the baby would be less than a week old. I agree that it's dumb to take a newborn to a theater.

[(Anonymous)]

I'm a fully-grown adult and I can't even go see movies in theaters these days without needing earplugs to keep my ears from hurting from the volume.

[diet_poison]

That is a good point. I hadn't thought of the noise factor for the kid.
