Our shul has separate children's leining at the same time as adults. Which would you go with a 7 month old? (I plan on plying her with biscuits to keep her quiet...)

if shes a good girl that can sit for the megillah reading then she can sit near u, or if she gets bored in the middle send her to the kids section-show her before where it is so if she needs to go in the middle she can go by herself

DH and I are leaving our two 6 month olds at home. We're just taking separate shifts. He's going to the 8:05 reading that's right after maariv. And then he'll get home and I'll head out to the 9:30 late reading (and similarly tomorrow morning). Is it possible for you to do something like that? It will probably make it a lot less stressful for you, too.

It's a good idea but my husband will be late because of his commute and I don't want to go to a late leining, so it's me and her.

Oish! I don't envy you trying to get in megillah reading with a little one. Okay, admittedly, I am used to having to do everything with two so the odds of both being quiet through an entire reading would be even more remote. But hopefully the teething biscuits (and maybe a few toys?) will do the trick. Well, in that case, I'd probably try the kids' reading so at least one more little one making noise probably wouldn't be too noticeable if she does act up. Good luck!

Chag Sameach!
