to change dd's nappy on the bus?

[amieis]

When we are still 30 mins from home and she's whingey?

I can't believe people are saying they would change a shitty nappy on a bus.

The world doesn't revolve around your child's arse.

OP, it may just have been wee, but you are still being unreasonable. It's just grim.

If it's only wet, it doesn't need changing.

Yanbu.
A smelly one is less smelly in a nappy bag anyway. A wet one, especially on a quiet bus should be no problem. Bit different on a crowded bus if youve got dc laod across your neighbours lap!

(I mean, doesn't need changing immediately.)

YABU

Thats exactly what I was going to say curiosity! And my child can sometimes do HUGE wees too - although I probably wouldn't change that unless it leaked. I would change a poopy one though - for the babies sake. It would already stink the bus out so whats the difference? Or should I get off and walk home?

I would if it had leaked, or if I knew DS' bottom had already been sore, I think. I would probably have apologised to the rest of the passengers though.

depends on age and how discrete you can be, if a tiny baby in my experince its not likely to stink and can be put in a nappy sack and baby changed with no one seeing in the pram or on back seat.

if it is a squirmy toddler then may be harder, but as you say its only wet you could possibly change at the back with dc standing and no one noticing.

I must say I have done both on the bus a dirty babys nappy and a wet toddlers, I doubt anyone even noticed either.

no, it is not normal to do that!

I would, depending on age of baby etc. - if it can be done quickly on lap. On seat, maybe not unless you have a mat. Poo - not if can be helped, but if it can't I'd just do it.

Why would you need to change a wet nappy? Change it before you get on the bus then it should be fine until you get home.

*laid not laod

Yuk.

How come you need to change a wet nappy?

Do you really need that to be explained ?

I wouldn't say you were being unreasonable but i wouldn't say its an emergency either, personally i would have done it when i had got home to save embarrassment and the open air poo smell

i see children being changed in car boots or back seats with doors open all the time, what is the difference?

depends on the childs age, if the skin is broken and causing them massive pain and if it would be better for everyone if it was contained in a nappy bag rather than leaking out all over the buggy

As a regular bus user I can't say it would be pleasant but I would understand why the mum needed to do it.

The OP's talking about a wet nappy

OP - I can't think of a time mine whinged about a wet nappy - but has your DC got nappy rash or something?

IF so, I don't think discretely changing a wet one is a big deal

maybe the OP uses cloth.

IT'S A WET NAPPY

If its a wee, i don't see a problem tbh

She wet it while we were on the bus (1hr 10min journey + 20 min walk after)
I haven't changed it I just wanted opinions
I've left her to cry and will wait until I get home to deal :(

What was the urgency of changing a wet nappy on the bus? Unless I was far from home and my dc was about to have sopping wet clothing for the duration of the journey, I would just leave it until I got home.
