Go to the Movies With Your New Baby
Submitted by

We thank God for TiVo, but also for movie theaters that have special showings for new parents. With clever names like "Mommy Matinee" or "Baby Brigade," these showings welcome babes in arms. Both of our babies were frequent attendees of baby movies during their first year.
Find one in your area and make it a weekly habit. Don't worry, yours will (most likely) not be the loudest baby in the theater.
If your area doesn't have a showing, try sneaking your baby into a weekday matinee with a friend. It's not officially encouraged by the theaters, but it works most of the time. You didn't hear it from us, but we confess to having done that, too.
Thanks to Heather Gibbs Flett and Whitney Moss, authors of The Rookie Mom's Handbook.
