How-to change a nappy without offending

If new mums are looking for a topic to discuss at Mother’s Group try this one for size – the dos and don’ts related to changing your baby’s nappy in public.
Have you ever been sat in a cafe when all of a sudden you smell something awful and turn to the table next to you and see a mum changing her baby’s dirty nappy?
What are your thoughts on this?
Generally the opinions split between parents and non-parents but there are a few guidelines you can follow to keep up the diaper decorum:
If it’s at all possible, try to change bub in a private location whether that’s in a bedroom, toilet or if you’re at the park – away from where other people are enjoying their picnic. Of course, if you’re in the comfort of your own home, you can change your bub’s nappy wherever you fancy – on the kitchen bench if that’s your preference!
Always put a change mat, blanket, muslin or towel under your baby while changing its nappy so that any mess is contained and you don’t end up with pooh on your friend’s carpet.
Put the dirty nappy and wipes in a bag. If you don’t have one ask whoever’s home you’re in for a carrier bag and which bin they’d prefer you put the nappy in (they might prefer you to take it to the garbage bin outside).
Always wash your hands!

I have used spell casting to get my ex husband back to me and also get pregnant with twins girls through the help of a great and trusted spell caster after 12 years of marriage.
When I came online last year, I met a testimony about Priest ODUNGA who has been helping people and I decided to contact him. We spoke on email at (odungaspelltemple@gmail.com) and later he gave me his Whats App number which is +2348167159012 and he assured me he would help me get my ex husband back after 3 years of no contact. My husband left me because I was unable to give him a child for 9 years after our marriage. There was no contact between us anymore and I didn't know how to get to him. Priest Odunga is the best spell caster I must say. My husband called me after 24 hours of contacting Priest Odunga. Soon I received a herbal medicine for fertility from this man, I became fertile. I and my husband reconnected that very week, had sex and I became pregnant. Today, I am happy today to be the mother of twins girls and this is ALL THANKS TO PRIEST ODUNGA. I came online to say this If you need help, I believe you are saved with this spell caster. Contact his email at (odungaspelltemple@gmail.com) and you too will give a testimony too to help others

I don't have a drama with people changing baby nappies, but i live on a farm with no council garbage, so when I am asked which bin to put the nappy in, I have to ask them to take them with them and dispose of it elsewhere. It can be embarrassing but I cant burn it or throw it up the paddock, so I have no other option.

Who cares where you change your child, your child is your priority and it is your priority to make sure they are comfortable, happy and poo free. As long as it's private, comfortable and hygenic. If people are offended by it, it's there problem. Personally I have never turned around in my chair in a cafe to see someone changing their childs nappy because most women in their right mind would not do that because for a start it's un-hygenic, it's not table manners and most women know that these days people get "offended" by things like that so easy and can't be bothered with their clear annoyance and drama. I have a 6 month old and if I am out in public I either go to the parents room or change him in my car, because I have common sense and Keep others in mind. And if you have a friend that tells you to leave their house because you are changing your child in there lounge room, they aren't really a friend.

It's just common courtesy not to change your stinky baby's nappy where poor passers-by can smell it. I don't even want to smell it let alone inflict that on others. What you do in your own home is entirely up to you, but to change it on a table in a café? I find that disturbing and unhygienic.

Ugh, do people actually think it's OK to change a baby where people are eating??? That's pretty much the same as an adult taking a dump right on the cafe floor if you ask me - disgusting, unhygienic and completely oblivious to the health & safety of anyone around you.

If she needs to be changed well she needs to changed no matter where you are. Most of the time there is a parents room but if not the pram or back of the car. Some people can be silly!

I would never change my baby in public, no one wants to see that, even me! I always take her to a mother's room, it isn't that hard!

I don't think I've ever seen anyone change a baby's nappy in public! It's definitely offensive and off putting for some people.

Theres a time and place for everything. obviously with children you often have no idea what will happen or where eg. my friends son did one of those explosive poos while she was shopping in chanel haha I had to laugh about it. This is mind its our job to be prepared as much as we can and there is such thing as common courtesy so keep the shitty nappies away from the food court if you can help it because at the end of the day its unhygienic.

To those who choose to fill the air with bubbys bottom odour - shame. I'm not a prued, I am a mum & by golly if I'm lucky enough to be at a cafe trying to enjoy some me time, I sure as heck do not appreciate that odour - no baby's poo is 'cute' Have some respect. Use your prams, just leave an eating area first!!!

I was sitting down with a friend waiting for our lunch meal to arrive one day and yip a mother at the table next to us decided to change her baby. Yes, on the lunch table! It wasn't very appertising for our lunch and my friend was horrified. She even ensured the staff sanitised the table after they left. There was baby change rooms at the shopping centre so why she thought it was ok to change the baby next to people who were about to have lunch is beyond me.

Well its a common sense!!!! Nobody likes the site of a nappy filled eith bub's poo...I am mum of a seven month old and I have always gone to a parent's room or changed her nappy in the car...The main thing is I dont want people to scrunch up their noses and its unhygenic obviously

I don't think you should change nappies at cafes or restaurants - it's just unhygenic and ugly. I have two bubs and have been known to change them in the car if need be.

I don't have any kids but changing the nappies in private is just common courtesy. If I have a baby and happen to have to change nappies at a friend's place, I will either change nappies in the bathroom (with ventilation fan on) or outdoors. @Sparkla - If a friend comes to my place and tries to change nappies in my loungeroom, I'll probably tell the friend to leave! It's disgusting and rude

I generally try to change my baby's nappy in a discrete place. Once I had to change her at a little corner in a cafe. Not my fault, there wasn't anywhere else to change her.
