Changing a babies diaper in public if you can't find a changing station?

[Anonymous]

I saw 2 videos on Youtube where moms changed their babies diaper in public, one was by a pool on a bench and police escorted her out & the other one was Ashley Graham (don't know if she is famous) changed diaper in a big box store. They get both support and hate so i would like to know what you think? And if you think that it's okey then my follow up question would beif it was an autistic 20 year old that needed a diaper change, would it still be okey to do in public? Because there's hardly any adult changing tables anywhere but their's changing tables for babies everywhere

If a baby needs their diaper changed, they need it changed. If there is no changing station, the baby should not suffer because adults are squeamish about the smell or sight.

It's just a baby. They poop, and pee, and puke, and burp, and fart, and have boogers in their nose. That's what they do. They are pure and innocent. They are entirely dependent on adults to keep them clean and keep them safe. How the heck can anyone find something wrong with that?

So you don't mind if a special needs adult gets his/her diapers changed in public then right?

I always change the diaper in the car when I really need to change baby’s diaper. If there truly wasn’t another possibility, I would definitely do it in public. I don’t want my baby to have a diaper rash just because other people think it’s “wrong” to see baby genitalia. Those people should just look another way and mind their own business.

So you would think the same if an adult needed their diaper changed and there wasn’t any other option (because most times it's not) so the caregivers changed him/her on the floor in Walmart or on the beach?

I’d probably take the baby back to my car and change them there instead. Too many weirdos in public places and I wouldn’t want to expose my baby to them.
