I thought it was a Mumsnet myth until today!

Baby having its nappy changed in the middle of a cafe. 🤮 I didn't think it actually happened! This is the same cafe that also has signs in the toilets, to remind people that toilet roll goes in the toilet, not the bin. This is on a University campus of a well respected university!

Where though? In its pram? Could they actually get the pram in the bathroom?

Do you need to take the pram in?

In her pushchair. No issues with bathrooms as far as I know!

Was it a smelly nappy? I wouldn’t be fussed if it was very quick and you couldn’t really see (like if it was in the basinett).

i wouldn’t leave my pram unattended

My entire NCT group used to be specifically told to change nappies in the middle of a café, by its owner. I can't remember why. It was an old Kurdish joint that, other than us, appeared to be populated solely by elderly men. Maybe they didn't even have a women's loo. I don't think any of us ever checked. I think we just liked the baklava and cheapness.

Think it was just wet. I saw everything!

eh, not ideal I agree

Absolutely rancid, some people have no standards.

Okay- I have told this story before and i am willingly telling it again.

I'm in England. My older Ds is now 14. When he was a newborn and I was still on mat leave I went to all the baby groups because basically I was insecure and thought you had to to be a proper engaged mother. (Did not bother with Ds2).

Anyway - there was a Queen Bee mother at the baby groups who was very keen to point out smugly just how much she was better at everything parenting to all of us plebs. (For example, DS1 has severe autism and developmental delay and did not talk until he was around 5 years old and she would tut at me and say 'you should try talking to him- that will help') .

Once we were all at our local breakfast diner and she plonked her DS onto the table and changed his shit filled nappy right there, in amongst our eggs and beans.

I judged hard. Real hard. And that was when I realised she was like the rest of us- doing her best but fucking it up occasionally.

Gross and rude.

Now THAT is rancid!

Unacceptable.

I don't have a problem with that 🤷‍♀️

A pee nappy in a pushchair?

Wouldn't bother me.

Shitty nappy on the table / chair?

Minging.

@WheresMySupportCat now that's disgusting 🫣

The nappy is grim.

Although the sign may be for overseas students and visitors. In a fair chunk of the world tissue is not flushed, with it being binned instead. If that's the norm in your home country you may need reminding if studying over here.

🤢That is all.

A wet nappy in a pushchair is nothing exciting. You didn't have to look OP!

If it's just a wet nappy, changed in the pram or on a chair I have no problem with it. It's much easier, especially if they have other children with them.

Never on the table!

So what if you see their bum? It's not vile or gross or offensive, it's a little bottom.

a poo nappy should be changed in the facilities, if the facilities are so disgusting they don't want to change a nappy in there then leaving us the better option.

I often see toddlers using potty’s in the middle of beer gardens. I’ve seen it multiple times this summer.

Just totally inappropriate - take them to the toilet.

If they aren’t ready to leave the house without a nappy… just don’t go out for a meal for a few weeks?

Last week I saw a table with the ‘travel potty’ ie probably full of stuff on the table in a nice gastro pub garden.

I think people forget they’re in a public place.

You obviously didn't see everything because you're not even sure if it was just a wet nappy.
What is there to see anyway, a tiny baby, in the pram having a nappy change, Unless it was a little boy and he squirted whilst poor mum was trying to do a quick change?

Why were you looking? Wierd 🙄

@Noseybookworm I couldn't miss it! I wasn't deliberately looking!

I saw someone changing a nappy on the floor in Primark a couple of weeks ago
