8 months are mobile and wanting to crawl and move. Its not really appropriate especially if the house is no longer baby proof.

Omg of course it’s fine... the hosts are parents, they get that you need to bring your baby.

This is not a given. At all.

Seriously to the two PP’s...what kind of people are you? Snobby, uptight? It’s a party at a family home. Bring the damn baby. If you want to ask, ask. But if someone told me my 8 month old wouldn’t be welcome, I probably would think twice about going. And for the PP who said the 4 year old was invited, not the parent, 4 years old isn’t drop off age - of course they expect the parent(s) to come.

Babies bring welcomed is a given a child’s party in which the party goers are too young to do a drop off party... really I think u people doubting this must be serous newbies.

If your baby will happily stay in a wearable carrier, yes.

If you expect them to clear out a spot for your baby to crawl a round, then absolutely not. Decline. The 4 year olds will be running around all over the place and the hosts will be busy with the party.

Then hold them. Or sit them in your lap. Or sit on the floor with them. It’s not rocket science, people.

Of course, but that doesn’t give the parent carte blanche to bring along other siblings or family members.

Regardless, you can tell that the PP has consumed too much Entitlement Juice.

Sure, if you’re rude.

None of my kids were crawling at 8 months. And even after learning to walk they all happily snuggled in the carrier if we weren’t at home. YMMV.

So, then it depends on the baby.

I stand by the assertion that it’s okay if and only if the baby can be worn in a carrier. If the baby is going to be crawling or toddling around it’s not appropriate.
