in not stopping my children help with nappy changing?

[Sluttybuttons]

I have b/g twins. When it comes to nappy changing they like to help me with the other. So for example DTD will help wipe DTS (after ive got the messy part done) and "help" put his nappy on and do the tabs.

The other day a HV (not our usual one) was in just seeing how they were and saw what they do at nappy changing time. She said oh you cant let them do that, its inappropriate.

Was IBU to laugh at her and tell her not to be so ridiculous?

too young

DS1 used to change DD's nappy and get her dressed in the morning for me to help whilst I was sorting out the other DC's. He was 9 at the time , his only caveat was that he didn't change pooey ones. He also helped whne she was weaned to feed her breakfast. I hope he learnt some life skills that will be useful in the future and also that he saw that caring for a baby is something men and women participate in.

They are just trying to be helpful. It won't last! Make the most of it and don't listen to anyone who says it is inappropriate. They are babies FGS!
