jenakers`s poll Show results | Hide results


Other-poll poll Have you ever changed your baby`s diaper on your table, island or counters?
(Other poll by jenakers, 770 days ago)
No never, that's gross.
A few times, carefully but, it is still a yucky idea.
Yes, all of the time. That is what cleaners are for and besides, nothing gets on the table.
My baby doesn't have diapers.

I change my little guy on all sorts of surfaces- as long as it is durable and will hold him, I don`t see what the big deal is- I of course use a changing pad under him and make sure it is safe- it`s not like his poop or pee is coming in contact with the surface.

how is it any less gross to change a baby on ur bed that you sleep in then on a counter that ur food goes on? the only reason i was thinkin was the bed is softer. my parents used to change me on a pool table n i dont see anything wrong with that either

Like lilyb - when my daughter was a newborn I would change her on the counter next to the sink for bathtime. I`d lay her on a folded towel never taking my hands off of her. It was easier for me too - also had a c-section.

ive used the kitchen table we have thick changing pads that go under the baby. my whole family has used my grandmothers dining room table since before i was born and there after. I dont see the issue. the countertops never just bc theyre small and theres things the baby could grab at. its really not nearly as gross as counting out change or money on the table. do you know how many nasty places money has been?? we wipe the table off with disinfectant wipes after but nothing gets on the table. its not a big deal to me if someone used my kitchen table to change their kid.

I change my daughter on the floor.

I never have, but not because I think it`s gross...but because I don`t find it very safe. I wouldn`t want someone else changing their kid`s diapers on my table, now that is gross! If i`m at someone else`s house I usually take my baby into the bathroom to change their diaper =)

  1. I`ve re-thought the moderating of the member-postings. How does this sound? Let`s change it to usage, rather than length of time as a member. Say your first 10 or 20 polls, questions and pictures need to be approved by a Mod or something like that. Someone posting the racist polls and adding the kiddie porn is unlikely to participate as a normal member. Once you are verified as a regular member you`re no longer monitored.
  2. How long did it take you to get pregnant after you got your IUD (Mirena) out?
  3. Twilight valentines for 7 year olds... appropriate or not? DD received a valentine with a very... sultry smoldery Edward on the front and I was just kind of surprised that anyone would buy those for 7 year olds? I know I`m on the conservative side in general on those kinds of things, but this really surprised me!
  4. My daughter is almost 5 months and 3 weeks ago my hair started falling out. I know it`s normal but how long did it last for you?
  5. With all the issues going on with the site maybe we need an updated list on Mods. Obviously Laura is the one to go to but if there is a concern and it needs immediate attention and a Mod is online it may be good to know who is who so you can reach out to them. Mods, can you please post here so we know who you are. (Esp since some profiles names had to be changed because of recent log on issues)
  6. Anyone wanna try http://parentspuzzlepieces.spruz.com/ a free community site I just made? Let me know if you want the password and would want to help add things to it!!
  7. I think with all the posting issues IAP needs to appoint someone to verify all pictures, polls, questions, etc that are posted by new members. Sure, it`ll probably make things slower, but something needs to be done! Many websites have this installed and IAP needs it as well. Members that have been on the site for a certain time can be exempt, but if you are a new member, posts should be monitored. I`m going to copy this suggestoin to Laura and if you agree you should too!! :)
  8. MODS ~ please help me in monitoring the photo pages and other pages. Horrific porn was posted in photos sections and they need to be deleted as soon as they are seen. I reported it to Laura also. TX!!
  9. my 4 yr old has 3 planter warts on his foot,.. any home remedies gals or is this a dr visit?
  10. ok ladies, sry its long but i really need some advice, a year ago my 5 yr old brother was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes, over the last year my mom has had a hard time dealing with his diagnosis because there is no cure and all she can do is give him 5 insulin shots a day to keep him alive, she looks at it like march 13th 2011 was the death of her healthy little boy and she woke up with this sick child, well i always tell her she needs to go to counseling to learn how to cope with this but lately i`m more worried about my baby brother, he came home the other day from kindergarten and had a picture of a red headed boy with a knife, 3 people under the ground dead and another one on top of the ground covered in blood, he recently grabbed one of my 15 yr old brother`s pocket knives out and started swinging it at my older brother because they were fighting, and then he told my mother he wanted to be a serial killer when he grows up! he has said before that he wishes he would die, that he didn`t want to wake up the next morning,.....
