Baby with MP3 player?
How old would your child have to be before you plugged an MP3 player into its ears? there was a little girl of about 10 months on the bus this morning, mum plugged her earpieces in - I hope it was nursery rhymes! - but surely it can't be good at such a young age to be wearing plug-in earpieces?

For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.perhaps it was soothing music or nursey rhymes to stop the child crying or acting up...you all be complaining if the mother played this stuff out loud...or began singing, or if the child screamed and cried the whole way...
but yes probably not an good idea to do it often and rely on it, but i see no harm with them listening to music, as long as its very low ...presumably they do it at home out loud...
and perhaps earbuds are not the best type to use

Whilst i admit i'd have looked twice at the mother, possibly one of those looks being a dirty one too, we really don't know what was on that MP3 player do we?
It could have been, for example, a story by the baby's daddy who wasn't with him/her for whatever reason and mummy is trying to keep daddy 'around' for the baby. Would peoples shock soon change then?

Are you sure the child wasn,t deaf and having hearing aids put in? I have a profoundly deaf grand-daughter who wore hearing aids from 3months of age. They were no use to her as she is profoundly deaf. She is now 7 and has had a cochlea implant for 5years. She is doing brilliantly and has very good speech but I,m sure lots of people mistake her external processor on her head for some sort of music player!!
