To think that changing a child's nappy on an airline seat is antisocial?

My DGS1 apparently rarely peed when his Nappy was changed. 4 week old DGS2 does it all the time His mum does not seem to have yet grasped the need for covering up the hose when changing him, so wee goes over poor Mummy and she has to change her clothes.

With my DS we automatically stuck the towelling nappy over his willie when taking his nappy off.

It is not acceptable to change the baby on an airline seat or anywhere else than cannot easily be cleaned. Bodily fluids on a seat are unacceptable. Take the child to the plane's toilet.

I never grasped the skill of changing a baby on my lap.

I've never understood why people lump breastfeeding and changing nappies together. Two totally different things. One requires a comfy seat, ideally a bit of calm and quiet and is a mutually enjoyable and nurturing process. The other is ....well.....er ...all about waste products and needs privacy and hygienic disposal procedures.

I would not have been bothered by it - I have to confess to once changing a nappy under the table on my lap in a pub. Has the woman no shame!

I agree with Anya - a lot of fuss about nothing.
People will be complaining again about breastfeeding in "public."

!!!

Oh I see! [confsed]. Right!

I've had damp, wet bums on my knee before now. Snotty kisses. Vomit down my back. I think I'll stop there

It comes with the job description.

I think I would rather not know!

I am now.

Have a look at the Passenger Shaming site on Facebook - its amazing what people do (not to say disgusting!!)

It's just the damp wet bum on the seat.

You are confusd jongl ??

Oh come on folks! It's only wee. I feel sorry for anyone flying with young children.

What airlines do these things happen on? [confusd]

Yes aggie I think it would have been fine if a changing mat was used.

I can never stand the need for the willie guiding. Cari could have had a face full. #thesethingsdohappen

O M G !!!!!!!

That is truly disgusting. . Was there no lavvie on the plane?

Cari - that experience puts a bit of nappy changing (providing the baby had only wee'd in it) right in the shade.

As well as being, well a bit shocked about the incident - is it me or wouldn't you expect a boy who is out of nappies to be able to hold his own "winkle" rather than have his dad do it for him. Yuk and double yuk

IMO it's absolutely unacceptable, what if it had been a dirty nappy?
Presumably she had no intention of washing her hands afterwards!

That just says you could catch polio after contact with the poo of an infected person, not that of a baby who'd had the vaccination recently.

Not very nice that the bare bottom was on the seat!If there had been something underneath I would not have minded this though, it only takes a few mins to change a nappy after all.

I think it's still the case with regards someone who hasn't got an immunity to polio and they probably have to have changed the nappy themselves and not washed their hands properly but the article I read was 2011 so I think there still is a very very remote chance of it happening.

I've never heard that Tegan, the oral drops must be attenuated (inert) so possibly an old wives tale?
I certainly don't remember either being told this when mine had the drops and I imagine there would have been warnings.
Perhaps it was the case when an injected vaccination was given but I haven't heard this.
