I have been around babies all of my life, and I raised 4 children of my own, so I consider myself knowledgeable in this area.
Admittedly, I did not go to the link, so I don’t know whether or not the baby’s age was given, but I am assuming he was quite young since it says he cried for 30 minutes.
In a baby younger than 3 months it is important to respond very quickly. I know what you are saying regarding older babies, but their crying is not as piercing as a tiny infant’s. Regardless of how old the child is, one certainly does not allow the kid to disturb others in a restaurant.
“Regardless of how old the child is, one certainly does not allow the kid to disturb others in a restaurant.”
I agree but there is a lot to be said for not denying someone the right to eat because there is noise at their table. There is no inherent right to not be disturbed. If someone is crying, people should entertain the idea that it is none of their business.
