It may be about getting attention or it may be about the complete dismissal of manners and decorum in our society in general.
Right. MY mother raised two of us with NEVER a need for doing this kind of thing in a public place.
If it’s a problem, maybe mom ought to stay home with her child until it ISN’T a problem.
Of course, mothers now days wouldn’t DREAM of staying home to care for their children... they’re all over the place... I have even seen young moms out shopping with what look to be newborns babies... What ? You can’t stay home even a couple weeks?
