Baby-poll poll Travelling question: Have you ever changed your baby`s diaper while on a plane?
(Baby poll by Aiona, 703 days ago)
Yes, and it was a wonderful experience. (Please let me know what airline you flew!)
Yes, and it was a horrible experience, but better than a sharp stick in your eye.

You name it...some planes have a `changing table` in the bathroom...if you can call it that. I`ve used that, mostly the top of the airplane toilet, the floor where the stewardess prepare their carts, um I think that covers it. Try to change them right before boarding & pray. The top of the airplane toilet seat is an impressive balancing act.

I`ve had to do it 2x on our long flights. The first time I changed him on the changing table in the loo. That was hard and I`ll never do it again. Changing a diaper in such a cramped place wasn`t easy. The other time I changed him in his bassinet that we had requested for him to sleep in. Not supposed do it but it was better than the restroom changing table.

when they didn`t have a changing table in the bathroom i did it on an open seatnearby. they were both empty and no one said anything. he seriously needed it though. it wasn`t so bad. i tried to make sure i had him in easy access clothes for that reason.

I have been on a few planes and do not have change tables in the washroom. That sucked.

We typically fly Southwest and Continental - and I couldn`t say that it`s wonderful - but it`s certainly not horrible. If you can, try to change them just before you board and then right after. If it`s a long flight, of course you have no other option. It`s tight in the washroom but it works.

It wasn`t a wonderful experience, but wasn`t a bad one either. Have flown on BA, virgin atlantic, united and american airlines and found it fine changing a nappy on the plane. On a long haul flight when the nappy was just wet (as opposed to filled with poo), I just changed dd on my lap as was quicker and easier than using the bathroom. On the united flight, we were stuck on the ground and dd filled her nappy and it stunk!! The air steward was really nice about it, and said that I couldn`t go to the bathroom to change her, but to change her on my lap. I just said that it would be a bit smelly, but he said it was no problem and that it was better to change her, so no one could moan really as it was him that told me it was ok! lol. So never really had a problem with changing nappies, no more than doing anything else on a plane with limited room!

My son kept rolling around on the little bitty fold out table, and kept hitting his head on the bulkhead because of the pitch of the plane.

I wouldn`t say it was wonderful lol! The asked us to do it in the washroom, which was a little awkward because it was tiny, but we managed. Bums were changed and we all came out fine LOL!

  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,.....
