My 8 month old has been so great at restaurants her entire 8 months of life, until she learned how to crawl. It is nearly impossible just to get through a quick meal out now. We bring toys, books, solid food, bottles, almost everything you can think of. We make sure she is well rested, no where close to bedtime, and well fed. No matter what we try she is fussy the whole time and won’t sit in a highchair (or her car seat if we try that). Even if we pick her up and try to hold her she is so squirmy and just wants down. Please someone say they have a similar situation😭 any advice?? What do you do to get your baby to calm down while eating out?

I should mention we usually eat out on the weekends, and have been ever since she was a newborn so it’s nothing new to her.
