A phenomenon that seems to be spreading more and more: Men bringing veeeery littlee children to shul. We love children, we really do. But if they are too young to behave then they really don't belong there. All they do is disrupt. If mommy needs a break [and mommy's need breaks!] my suggestion to daddy is - stay home and don't use the shul as a place to baby sit. My words are echoed [sort of a "pre-echo"] by the mishna brura in simman 88/3 and 124/28: He says that when brought to shul, children get accustomed to not respecting a shul, disturb others and disgrace the sanctity of the place.
Are people not aware of this halacha??
