Did you know that there is proper baby changing etiqeutte when you are out in public? Besides knowing that someone can be offended if you breast feed in public, I had no idea that their was a proper protocol for baby changing because I am not a parent yet myself. If you are a new parent unlike me you should take a look at the following rules before you and your pride and joy take to the streets.

1. Always change your baby in a bathroom.

This should be obvious. Just like it would be rude for an adult to take a crap in their pants and then take them off while you are standing in line at a fast food joint. We also dont want to see and smell your baby’s ding-a-ling nor do-do.

2. Always have a pad to lay over the public restrooms diaper changing station.

You don’t know how clean the baby changing station is, so why wouldn’t you want your baby to have a barrier between it and the bacteria infested surface.

3. Don’t dispose of diapers in the trash, use a poop bag and dispose of it when you get home.

While you may want to get rid of it at a public restroom trash can so that it is off your hands, it is not the proper thing to do. You will be pissing off everyone else who has to use that restroom afterwards with an unsanitary smell and feel. Not only that the employee that has to empty or push the trash down will not be fond of you. If you care about the service you and your kid receive elsewhere then dont set a poor reputation for yourself. No matter how cute your kid is they arent cute enough to forget about the poop present they left for an unsuspecting customer or employee.

Dont feel like following the ettiquette, then visit baby changing table to purchase a personal diaper changing station.
