If you're going to a restaurant then i think the baby should be with a babysitter or other member of the family. Its not really the place. you could always go out when its not feeding time for the child, as usually people have a routine.

So, you don't think that people with babies under the age of 6 months should be able to go to restaurants with their child? My husband and I couldn't afford a babysitter, and lived in a different city than our families, so we should never have been able to go out to eat? Can you not see how ridiculous this is?
Have you ever gone 6 whole months without eating out once?
Also, women who are exclusively breastfeeding can't just hand the baby off to a babysitter or a family member if they want to go out. They have to stay with the baby so it can be fed when it is hungry.
Most babies eat every 2 hours. That doesn't really give much time to drive the baby to a family member, go to a restaurant to eat, and come back to feed the baby. If a mother with a baby wants to go out to eat or spend the day out on the town, why can't she?
