Yes- only in arm nurslings. If they can walk around, they should have a full time sitter present outside of the meeting area and able to care for them at all times. We absolutely cannot have children, big or small, mobile and moving about the training space. This is a safety hazard and a distraction to those present. If baby cries, you should excuse yourself from the meeting area to address the infant.
Yes- we will take intermissions when needed as well as a full hour lunch break around 1pm! You are also more than welcome to bring snacks and drink for yourself throughout the day.
