I was nonplussed when a woman in the same row on the opposite side of the plane to me ( two rows of three seats) stood up to get something out of the top lockers. She had taken off the child's nappy and sat her on the seat with nothing to protect the seat . She then spent a good few minutes rooting about in bags looking for a nappy.the poor man at the end of the row was kept standing until she had changed the child. I always assumed that this was possible in the loos on a plane. I never had to do this as my children didn't fly until out of nappies (for financial reasons). Has it become acceptable to do this? I thought airlines were making a fuss about girls sitting on their own in case there was a disreputable person next to them and here was a women sitting a bare bottomed toddler on a seat. DH was nearer and appalled . If there had been an " accident" how would the mum have managed? I felt very old fashioned and judgmental.

Totally wrong.
Some years ago I was treated by DD1 to a wine tasting lunch at Puligny Montrachet. It was informal but quite 'posh'. It was a small restaurant and the only other diners were a 40 something couple with a baby. The mother lay the baby on the table and proceeded to deal with its nappy. The Maitre D didn't blink an eyelid. I was horrified. It quite put me off my grub 
I was on a flight a few weeks ago - sitting on the aisle. Across the (narrow) aisle a man whose wife and small child were several rows behind. As the plane took off (literally just as the wheels left the ground) the wife let the small boy run forward to his father. The father then took a sick bag and held it right next to me. "Great" I thought. "We've been off the ground 30 seconds and now I have someone puking right on my knees." But no. With his other hand he pulled down the boy's trousers - got hold of his, um, winkle (did I say that????? I have never used that word in my life) and directed it into the bag. Then held the bag of urine about an inch from my face until the seatbelt sign was switched off.
Now I know that when you've got to go you've got to go - but there was definitely a more subtle way of doing it
Quite put me off my apple juice
