Bubs in church....

[ladybird11]

There is no creche at the church we go to but all the little old ladies absolutely love the babies, and I've never been given any dirty looks either if they've become unsettled

I wouldn't go to a church where my baby or kids weren't welcome.

At our church there is a creche for kids walking to prep, and before that if babies are unsettled there is a cry room where parents can still see and hear everything. However nobody would be worried by a baby making noise in church.

Our church welcomes babies and toddlers babbling or not! I agree give them a call as they may cater for family friendly services (which the other church in our area does) or they may just welcome you to the traditional service and perhaps just sit at the back so if you feel uncomfortable with the amount of noise you are generating you can pop out for a walk! I think its awesome you have the want to rejoin the church!!!

At our church babbly babies are very welcome We always wear DD in the baby bjorn because we find that she gets all excited looking at people in the beginning and babbles along to a couple of songs and then is out like a light. We also have a cry room with toys, books and a change table and parents are expected to supervise their own kids. My opinion is that church is for everyone - adults and kids, quiet and noisy

Thanks everyone for the replies, I'm feeling a little braver now! I'll give them a call tomorrow and take it from there, thanks again

My local church has a little area sectioned off behind soundproof glass. Mums (or Dads) can sit in there with bubs if they are noisy. You can hear the service but the congregation can't hear bubs.
