Hi,

We are having a wedding dinner for my sis-in-law in end of Feb. Our baby will be 3 months old by then. We have opted to sit away from the main table and away from the loud speakers. I would like to know what preparations I need to do for our baby before we attend.

For starters, we thought about buying mufflers to cover the ear but dont know where to get them. The baby will attend with us and then will also go on stage for toasting session. Anything we need to be aware of?

Regards. Thank you.

Hi There ... just sit away frm the speaker will do ... no need to buy mufflers bcz not gd for the baby. Let them experience the sound ....
On the toasting part ... tht no choice ... u and ur husband just quiet loh ....
trust me ... most of the time baby is sleeping ... put a small bantal on the chest that will make the baby more secure

Just my 1 dollar

Sure kah? Got band singing, probably will damn loud... I'm thinking of a muffler just in case. We purposely sit faraway from the main table so that the bass do not affect our baby. Some times u know loud bass will make our heart thump. Dont like that happening to our baby.

Babies can handle noisy places better than adults, actually

But in case the baby cries and you want to run outside, sit near the exit

My husband and I discussed this and prefer to buy a muffler for the ears just for that few hours. May I know where can I possibly get them?

I suggest u go to the pharmacies and ask them if they have ear plugs for babies... N for muffler... U can try those shops that sell winter wear

dun use ear plugs for babies, can kena ear infection, I think cannot put more than 1 hour or something like that.

We dont want ear plugs la, later cannot take out! Haha!!
We want something fluffy just to protect and will swaddle him.

have you try to find it at anakku or babyjaya area? most of the thing can get there.

as for loud sound, when toasting or the sound getting louder, be prepare to bring your baby out for a small walk until the toasting finish. my baby didnt cry when loud sound until around 1.5 years. then she will get afraid when sudden "yam seng". but now no longer afraid... just need to console your baby and be there for him/her... is good enough.

Toy shop will be your best bet especially those that sell a lot of cuddly bears.

If you find it hard to identify a shop that sells mufflers, perhaps a cap that goes over your baby's ears may be the next best thing? That way the baby can still hear but the sound would be muffled a little and it won't be all disorientated.

Loud sounds which are a form of environmental stress can affect the magnesium levels of anyone therefore increasing the deficiency that they already suffer from (majority of the world's population is magnesium deficient according to a 2006 report by the World Health Organization). So another tip would be to increase your magnesium intake. What's funny is that sensitivity to noise is also brought on by magnesium deficiency. A real chicken and egg thing. http://www.ctds.info/noise-sensitivity.html

A good source of magnesium is Extra Virgin Magnesium Oil which can be consumed both orally and applied on the skin which makes it suitable for all ages.
