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!

I sat next to someone on the plane changing a nappy on her lap but the baby wasn't on solids and plane toilets are a hassle with a queue down the isle only to be confined in tiny space with barely any room to shut the door behind you. She apologised, I smiled and said I get you.

Maybe she can't walk pain free yet, if it was a new born perhaps she feels like her insides are about to fall out of her vagina. Our section scar and perhaps it was easier for her to change nappy in situ

I'm assuming anyone suggesting an equivalence between tiny baby wet nappy change and elderly person incontinence pad change haven't done either.

I'm assuming many of you also get your nicks in a right twist about horrors like jam before cream on a scone or ...oh actually I've no idea... Who knows what goes on in the minds of the perpetually outraged over fuck all in the slightest at all.

Potential piss and shit in a place where people are eating is potential piss and shit. That’s my point. It’s bloody disgusting. Poop and Scoop that mate.

Just because you might be ok with an ickle baby having his bum-bum changed while you’re eating, the health and hygiene factors are the same. It’s still bloody disgusting.

No, just piss and shit in a cafe really.

Haggia, you absolutely 100% don't limit yourself to piss and shit in a cafe... Come on... There's nothing like that happy anger you feel in the certainty you do things the right way and the rest of the dirty fuckers are wrong.

Wish i still had a baby so I could take it to the cafe and change it's nappy in the pram.

Dirty fuckers aren’t wrong, they’re just dirty fuckers.

Glad you found your tribe. I’m sticking with the clean fuckers 😂😂😂

I have no issue with a baby who hasn't started solids yet being changed in their own pram anywhere. Life is hard enough at this stage without having to navigate public toilets.

That's fine

That's one of the things we did back in the day before you could change (or feed) your baby in cafes or shops. And I still don't recall ANY baby being changed in a cafe

Today there is no need! There's lots of choices and where food is being served is not one of them

You do know that bird poo lands on the fruit itself as well as the surrounding soil?

Not uptight

We used to say you shouldn't feed your baby in a toilet (when that used to be suggested as there was nowhere else)

Well you shouldn't toilet your baby where people feed.

There's nothing wrong with using your car

It's not a public space

Better that than in a cafe.

Some of us have been mothers of small babies

Back in the day when there was nowhere to feed your baby or change them

This is how other people end up getting get ill! Did the Mum wash her hands before then touching the cafe table, door handle etc? Probably not. It’s becoming common practice and IMO its not right because it’s unhygienic

You’re offended by a wet nappy in a pram?! Bloody hell.

My twins are 17m 😂

Agree that there mostly is a baby change around, quite often don’t fit my double buggy in though, hence the occasional boot change in the past when I’ve not had someone to watch the other twin.

I didn’t realise there wasn’t always baby changes everywhere, that must have been a nightmare.

To clarify when I said ‘this’ I meant in the pram not on the table. I’m not sure anyone wants that on the table next to them.

I used to work hospitality and a colleague found a used (wet) nappy on a plate once. We had lovely facilities and they were less than 10 feet away from the table 😩

Only a wet one, in the pushchair?

I would have no problem with this and have done it myself many times when necessary

Quite a few years ago I was in a pub with my Mil and a parent changed their baby on the table diagonally from us
inwardly I was wtf . so not on 🤢

Meh, I couldn't get too worked up about a baby having their nappy changed in their pram. I thought you meant on the table at first- that would be grim

This is grasping for straws. Naturally one looks at the fruit.

That is no justification in any case for you risking transfer of your human faeces bacteria to the fruit.

And no, farms aren't sterile environments but there's a reason that human waste is treated before bring used in them and they often provide places to wash your hands outside the animal pens.

Change your child's nappy in the correct place and not amongst food sources and places of food preparation.

@Nanny0gg

how does your comment relate to my post??

Get a grip 😂

I think it's rude and lazy. I developed a great knack of changing mine on my knee if need be- they were safe and I could go and sit anywhere to do it.

Breastfeeding in public/eating establishments- I have no problem with - it's eating.

Toileting/nappy changing in public/eating establishment: - not acceptable imo
