Can I bring my baby to a loud show?

Your questions

Hello Marie, I am going to an outdoor show, and since I breastfeed, I will have my two-month-old baby with me. There will be a lot of music and then fireworks after. I was wondering if it is dangerous for my baby and if it would help if I used earmuffs designed for babies. Thank you for your help, as I am really stressed. Mélina


Hello Mélina,

Parents often ask me about this, and I decided to do some research on the topic. I even asked Andréa, an audiologist, to help me prepare this article with the latest information.

Excessive noise can have an impact on hearing, whether adult or infant. When we talk about sound, many wonder what is too much for a baby, but it is difficult to know how many decibels we are listening to.

Please read my article Is hearing protection necessary for my baby? I provide explanations and information concerning hearing protection for babies.
