[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why begrudge a baby their first Halloween experience?[/quote]

Do you have any grasp of what goes on in babies' heads?[/quote]

I do. They take in the lights, the faces of all the people, the happy feelings of the parents, etc. This is just basic child development. I know this sounds like a little much and it's not like babies need to be taken out but I don't think it's a totally wasted experience on them. [/quote]

I'm all for taking babies out and about, but giving them candy they can't eat? That's pointless.

Giving candy to parents? Why? I'm trying to imagine a scenario in which people can afford costumes but not candy.[/quote]

Because that’s what Halloween is - you give out candy. It is not a religious holiday. [/quote]

I'll admit that I took my 10 month old trick or treating in our condo building. She had just starting walking and she loved seeing all the people. We lived downtown (not in DC) and there were not many kids in the building and a lot of retirees. She also liked collecting the candy in her bag and then playing in a pile of candy when we got home. To her it was a pile of small toys she could collect. We ended up donating most of it. [/quote]
