Silence your devices…

With the prevalence of electronic devices that ring, buzz, play music and generally make noises that distract, our announcements at any women’s event normally includes a request to “silence your devices…and this includes babies!”  If we have allowed moms to attend our event with their babies, just for fun we include “babies” as one of the “devices” that need to be silenced during the event.  It is humorous, but it makes the point.

Any distraction can interrupt the flow of a women’s event, and an infant’s fussing can be especially distracting for women.  We want moms to be able to come to our women’s events, but they need to know what to do when the baby gets fussy. These guidelines can help.
