So its brianna's first halloween she is 11 months and im lost with what to do! she has a halloween costume she loves it and i wanna take her out so she can see other poeple dressed up to i know she would just love to go out ..but this is where im lost should i just take her out for a walk around the block to see everyone or do people with babies or young children still take them door to door to trick-or-treat? even knowing that they cant eat the candy? i thouhgt about just doing the walk but i just know her little face would light up so much to see people puting little candys in her princess bucket! so whats the proper way to do halloween with babies so they dont miss out..

We took my daughter when she was 14 months and she had fun...we left when she started getting cranky. I have to suggest that you bring lots of hand sanitizer...everyone wanted to touch her and hand her things since she was so little so every time we left a house I soaked her hands in sanitizer, lol. We're not taking the kids this year (2yrs and 3 1/2 months) because DH and I are sick...and when I asked Kahlan if she wanted to go with her cousin she said no, wanna movie and co-corn. Which means she wants to sit at home and watch a movie with some popcorn...so we're watching scooby doo in our costumes, lol.

We took my 16 month old to a fall festival at a nearby park.  There were tons of people in costumes and activities to do, face painting and a hayride.  It was really fun for her!

She can still collect the candy.  She prob wont even really know its candy (my daughter didn't )  When mine was that little, she dressed up, collected candy & had fun putting it in & out of the bucket.  Just watch to make sure it doesn't really go in the little ones mouth.  

After a while, the bucket & candy can just "dissapear"

I just took my son to see relitives with his costume on

I would take them door-to-door. Maybe just to a couple of houses...Last night at my parents house, there were several children/babies, I handed candy out to. They were maybe 6 to 10 months old, just to cute

Well back in 2004 when it was my older sons first halloween he was almost 10 months. I did not take him door to door because the local mall had trick or treating. In 2007 when it was my younger sons first he was 7 months and we also did the mall then as well. Now they are 6 and 3 we will be going around our apartment complex at night and mall during the day.
