Shopping in ancient societies

Shopping can be traced back to many civilisations in history. In ancient Rome, there was Trajan's Market with tabernas that served as retailing units. Shopping lists are known to be used by Romans as one was discovered by Hadrian's wall dated back to 75-125 AD and written for a soldier.

How do you keep your infant from crying while shopping?
Q. I have an 11 month old infant who has a difficult time keeping entertained while I shop. The only way I can doing any shopping is if I know exactly what I want, purchase it, and then leave immediately. Whenever I need some time to browse, my 11 month old begins to fuss and eventually begins to cry. I've always fed and changed her before our outings so those reasons go out the window. Is there anyway that I can keep my daughter entertained better while I'm doing errands? Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

A. Hi I totally feel your pain... First remember this don't worry about those childless people (or even parents themselves) who'll give you dirty looks if you baby so much as cries while you are trying to shop.. They'll get over it and ig they donn't eventually they'll go somewhere else. Some people seem to think they were perfect angels when they were young (yeah right!) Babies are going to cry... even if there is nothing wrong. Babies cry to relieve stress too. Not just when they are hungry or need to be changed or tired. Alot of time shopping in the morning not too long after the baby has gotten up and been fed. Not too close to nap time though : ) Sometime I bring cheerios and juice. Or I let them bring a toy... Once they get sick of… [cont.]

A. I start mine in Oct if I see something that would make a perfect gift early. Otherwise I start by mid Nov and am always done by early Dec because I hate crowds :) And I've already bought 2 gifts this year - I'm on a roll!
