It's been a long time since I took DD to a cry baby session at the cinema but I have two friends with newborns so I'm thinking it would be a good thing to do.

But I'm not sure how DD will handle it - when she was really little it was fine, but now she's 8 months old I think she may be antsy. Yes, I know this sounds a bit silly because the idea is to watch the film EVEN IF your baby is crying but I hate the thought of DD being bored for 1.5 hours just so I can watch a movie.

Has anyone else taken an older baby to the pictures and if so, did you find your baby was happy to look at the screen/at you etc?

DD is crawling so I could put her on the floor but obviously then I'd probably be staring at the floor rather than the screen to make sure she wasn't straying too far.
