In my experience, it is reasonably common at SCA feasts to have older 
kids doing much of the serving--which is getting close to the period 
model. And if they are doing the serving, they presumably have to be 
fed somewhere.

As to smaller children, I don't know either whether they would have 
been at a period feast (my guess is not, but I don't really know) or 
where.
