Earplugs or Ear muffs for newborns?

smilingjb · June 2011

Want to be prepared for the 4th of July. We are having a party and I know there will be fireworks. Has anyone used earplugs or ear muffs for their LO?? I am leaning more towards the ear muffs.

TIA

We have these https://www.amazon.com/Peltor-90553-Kids-Earmuff-Pink/dp/B001ET5XAS

These work great. We have a pair for each twin. I use them at sporting events. The babies seem totally unfazed by them. And you cannot beat the price of Amazon.

We use these all the time at the race track. At 4 months she was unfazed by them (and napped wonderfully with them on, even during a race) At 10 months she pulled them off, a bit more of a struggle. At 18 months she keeps them on again and doesn't want to take them off. (I also got a pair of black ones, so Mommy has her ear protection too, just like E)

Sometimes a bit tricky managing earmuffs, sunglasses and a hat but it works.
