Dear mummies, i'm curious, in general, how would u react to such scenarios. When u change baby's diaper at someone's hse, someone (elderly) tells u to wipe tat area and wipe tiz area. Tells u muz put lotion. Tells u tiz n tat like as if u did not change a diaper before. How would u feel? When u say u can change his diaper on e floor (put him lying down) and elderly say dun put on e floor! Put on e bed! He has pooped. I didnt wanna dirty anyone's bedding. If no poop, of cos i will wanna put him on e bed as it is easier?! I said it is really ok for LO as i do tat often! But elderly not happy.. Infantcare teachers do a bad job in taking care of LO. If u encountered ur baby's lower legs r left wet after washing of buttock, when u go n fetch him, how would u feel? Well, i encountered all these and hubby wans me to chill. Hmm.. Am I being too fussy or protective or wad? Really wonder how would u mummies feel? Can u still be chill?

Just ignore about the diaper changing bit. You know your LO best. I never put diaper cream for my girl coz she didn't have diaper rash. What for put for prevention even? It's all chemicals. Only put when needed. About changing diaper on the floor. I think just explain nicely that you don't want to dirty the bed. Let your LO lie on a changing mat and not directly on the floor. I think that's the best compromise already. Old folks say it's not good to lie on the floor coz it's cold and will affect one later in life (i.e. rheumatism). I do believe this to a certain extent. As for the IFC, perhaps you can let the IFC know your concerns?

Ok! I hv told them abt other concerns alrdy but e teachers r reluctant to follow my instructions as they think they r old birds and they know better. The more u tell them, the more they will think tat i'm a demanding mummy. So, forget abt it ba.😊
