How did they keep babies quiet when royalty would pass by?

I've seen lots of movies and read a lot of books where when royalty would be passing by, everyone kinda stops what they are doing to bow. How did they keep the babies quiet though? Babies cry randomly, so you gotta imagine that a few babies would start up when everyone bowed at least a few times.

1. Short answer: they didn't. Any more than they stopped dogs barking or ducks quacking.

2. Because they are Royalty dear boy. They are ordained by Almighty God himself. Babies fall silent because they are fully aware of the fact that they are in the refined presence of super-human beings.

3. Babies usually weren't present. Especially not in the movies.

If there were babies in the movies, they simply redubbed the soundtrack.

4. As far as I know, there is no rule that says that babies have to be kept quiet while royalty is passing by, and never has been.

However, at court, there generally would not be any babies. Courtiers did not, on the whole, bring their families to court with them.
