They tend to do that much less while snuggled up to Mum (or Dad). As I already said if the child disturbs other Members it's time to beat a retreat and feed, change or whatever other calming action is needed.
I already suggested that an age limit around 26 weeks looked about right. Nobody advocates toddlers or older.
Given you seem to actually accept the point about babes in arms I'm not sure why you're still adamant about no children.
It's just a fixed obstructive principal I guess - no debate - no real reason - just simple ..
No change is allowed, nothing that would make space for greater inclusion, or accommodation of anyone's needs, it's beyond comprehension.
I mean whatever next..??
Everyone wants to bring in their Shetland pony as an emotional support companions??
That'll be it - just you wait..
Of course as you say, tiny babies are generally fairly easy to placate, especially if they can be fed, there and then.
And parents of said children, are ime very good at absenting themselves from a meeting
if they feel their child is in
any way making a nuisance of themselves.
Long before anyone else notices them, usually.
Far more considerate in general, than those who've I've observed doing boorish shouting, over others trying to speak in parliament
Who knows, maybe the grown ups might even behave a bit better, knowing the next generation is present to observe their behaviour??
And be mindful of their futures, in their decision making.
