Changing a baby’s nappy on a food table

[Intsywintsyspider]

I was in a park today having a coffee from a food van. There are 6 large wooden tables close together and on one was a group of new mums.
I was shocked to see one of them whip out a changing mat and change her baby’s nappy at the table.
The park is undergoing redevelopment but there are 2 portaloos, one modern public toilet and of course grass.
Now, I know we’ve come a long way since the days where I used to breast feed my kids in the toilet when I was in public, but I felt this was unhygienic and unacceptable.
i spoke to the food van and they said there was not much they could do, but she comes regularly, but they’d make sure they’d wipe the table.
I’d like to have spoken to her directly but didn’t want to shame her.
AIBU - it’s up to the park keepers to deal with it.
YANBU - I should speak to her, if so, what would you have said

i have seen mums. Change babies in the buggies - did she not have one of those OP?

very interesting to see that the majority of people would not be bothered by a baby being changed on a mat on a park table/bench - there is another thread on mumsnet regarding pictures on social media (a mil using the baby’s photo as her profile photo) and the majority didn’t think this right. If this was really a privacy issue - mum is ok to change a nappy in public where anyone can see it not ok to post on social media.

didnt mean to hijack op, I am a new mum myself and whilst I wouldn’t do this, she must have had her reasons!

I think you become a bit desensitised to poo/ wee/ nappies when you have a small baby. Although I wouldn’t do this myself (I would have used the grass) I don’t think it’s huge deal. I bet there was already bird poo and any number of other animals climbing over it during the day. I wouldn’t have thought too much about it. But I do get why some people would dislike this!

I think grass yes table where people eat is gross

Fucking grim....baby....dog.....cat.....myrtle the turtle...... I've seen this so many times in public spaces (pre and post small person) and its just..........well.... just a no from me. Sorry if that makes me unreasonable judging by the poll! (To add, I'm also way too chicken shit to confront but I'd definitely not use the tables ever again.....,)
