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.

    • It worked. Corbyn did similar although not to the same degree. Momentum had a purge too when Corbyn got in. All his political life he opposed the EU but when it came to the crunch he publicly backed them during the referendum. I believe that was to appease the middle classes that he was appealing to. He messed up big time when wooing the middle classes at Glastonbury whilst ignoring his core working class voters up north. They also happened to be leave voters. He got starstruck and forgot about his politics. Corbynmania was thing, a movement but it was also the making of his downfall. For the many and not the few came back and slapped him right in the face. 
    • Nothing to do with the tories overspending whatsoever eh! Blame the last 10/11 years of blatant mismanagement, incompetence and willful deceit on the poor bastards that were left with the fall out of a complete car crash tory government.   One PM after another falling on their sword. Open corruption and piss taking throughout covid and a legacy of huge debt and destruction yet in your view it will be labour's 4 years in power that bankrupts us in 2029.  Another one that must think people are blind and stupid.  Rejoice rejoice. It's a pity he and his fellow clowns were completely annihilated at the ballot box. I mean they were doing so well after all 🙃🙃
    • Where did I say he did a good job? Yup and Corbyn was very close to Len McCluskey and funded by Unite wasn't he...they're all as bad as each other... Labour have to purge their party of the far-left - they're a disaster. Allan Johnson summed it up so well on election night in 2019....  
    • Thank you for the detailed advise @trinidad It is definitely damage we are concerned about. I don’t think Evri would agree to pay the bill to fix our gate or letter box if they were to be damaged as a result of their delivery drivers helper. Our doorbell can be heard from outside when rung so we don’t quite believe the aggressive simultaneous door/letter box banging is necessary. It can be quite a shock it is done very aggressively.  I’ll definitely action the steps you’ve kindly provided along with a phone call tomorrow. I do sympathise with the role drivers have and how busy they are, which is why we tried communicating directly with her but sadly we haven’t succeeded
