A wuick response on the suggestion that people bring babies and child
providers (grandparents, older sibs, babysitters) to conferences.
NOt everyone can afford the airfare, food etc. for an extra person to the
conference. Also, grandparents are often working and older sibs are often in
school. I would, again , encourage the conference to provide child care
on site for mothers of young children.
