We went to the athletics in the Olympic Park with 3.5yr old and 10 month old. We took them mainly because it was in the evening and we were hoping kids would sleep. There's lots of sudden noise that might wake up or scare a baby but not sure if it's ear damaging? Anyway baby slept in sling for a few hours with ear defenders on. He wasn't keen on keeping them on whilst awake though. I've lent mine to somebody or I'd offer them. Have fun!

Thanks.


Another question, it says no liquids are allowed? I need to take hot water to make up formula for the night feed do you think they will let me through with that? I could take some ready made but that's over 100ml too... I feel like I'm going on a plane.

My baby who was 8 and a half months old when we went to the Basketball got extremely upset once the crowd started cheering when the balls went in. She'd been fine up to then with the general noise. The problem wasn't the noise level but the kind of noise. I didn't have ear defenders with me and had to leave and was only able to creep back in when she'd fallen asleep on me. After waking up to the noise though she was fine. We've tickets to the paralympics next week and we're definitely taking ear defenders this time!

We arrived much later than advised and it was totally fine.

With liquids, we had no problems with a big aluminium water bottle at the equestrian and one time at the main olympic park. I breatfeed but didn't want the hassle of queing to fill a water bottle with 2 little ones in tow. However today there was a military woman who gave us grief and wanted us to empty it, but said if milk had been inside (a large aluminium drink bottle? obviously never had a baby) it would have been ok. Her friendly colleages told us to put it back in our bag when she wasn't looking and told her we had emptied it :)
This thread is great! Im going with 7 month old to watch swimming on wed, i have no ear protectors should i get one? And can i bring my cooled boiled water in a thermos? Not sure how much water it holds but will double check! And i can bring my fully packed changing bag? That includes calpol formula powder and the rest of it x
I would say absolutely definitely take ear defenders. We went to the athletics and it was deafening at times. We left early as our boy wouldn't wear the ear defenders for long. Babies have very sensitive hearing which can be permanently damaged. My baby brother's hearing was damaged when he was young, almost certainly by my loud music, which being a teenager I was always cranking up. You don't want to have to live with that.

    • What was he doing on the stage at Glastonbury? Or on the stage at the other concert in Finsbury Park? Grinning like a Cheshire cat whilst pissed and stoned 20 somethings on the promise of free internet sung-- Oh Jeremy Corbyn---  What were his policies for Northern mining towns with no jobs or infrastructure? Free Internet and university places for youngsters. What were his other manifesto pledges? Why all the ambiguity over Brexit?  I didn't like Thatcher, Blair or May or Tony but I respected them as politicians because they stood by what they believed in. I respect all politicians across the board that stick to their principles. Corbyn didn't and its why he got  annihilated at the polls. A socialist, anti imperialist and anti capitalist that said he voted for an imperialist and pro capitalist cabal. He refused to say how he'd vote over and over again until the last knockings. He did so to appease the Islington elite and middle class students he was courting. The same people that were screaming that Brexit was racist. At the same time the EU were holding black and Asian immigrants in refugee camps overseas but not a word on that! Corbyn created and courted a student union protest movement that screamed at and shouted down anyone not on the left . They claimed Starmer and the centre right of labour were tories. He didn't get elected  because he, his movement and policies were unelectable, twice. He turned out not to have the convictions of his politics and died on his own sword.    Reform won't win an election. All the idiots that voted for them to keep out Labour actually enabled Labour. They'll be back voting tory next time.    Farage wouldn't be able to make his millions if he was in power. He's a very devious shyster but I very much doubt he'd actually want the responsibility that governance requires.
    • The purge of hard left members that were part of Corbyn's, Mcdonnel's and Lansmans momentum that purged the party of right wing and centrist members. That's politics. It's what Blair did to win, its what Starmer had to do to win. This country doesn't vote in extreme left or right governments. That's partly why Corbyn lost  We're pretty much a centrist bunch.  It doesn't make it false either. It's an opinion based on the voting patterns, demography and statistics. Can you explain then why former mining constituencies that despise the tories voted for them or abstained rather than vote for Corbyns Labour?  What is the truth then? But he never got elected!!! Why? He should have been binned off there and then. Why he was allowed to hang about is an outrage. I hold him party responsible for the shit show that we've had to endure since. 
    • Depends on what the Barista says doesnt it? There was no physical confrontation with the driver, OP thinks she is being targetted when she isnt. These guys work min wage under strict schedules so give them a break unless they damage your stuff
