In public or at church, it was a short “very short” trip to the restroom. I remember maybe once or twice in public and ONCE at church. BTW Our church did not believe in “nurseries or cryrooms” You were in church in the pew with family from the day you were born
Remember our minister once went to the back pew, grabbed both his sons by the collar, and sat them down in the front pew. Never missed a word of his sermon
