Breastfeeding Babies in Church

[_barrelomonkeys]

Geezz. These are terrible stories!

It occurred to me last night, when there was quite a bit of interest from men on this subject, that we are out of our right minds sitting in a SMELLY toilet while feeding our children!

Men need to get over it or go ahead and combust. Whatever, but I'll tell you what I'm not sitting in a stinky bathroom. If they can't handle the sight of a breast with a child nursing they have issues that are not mine to worry about.

Behold the glory of the Diaper Genie!



Donate one to your church nursery!

Two words: Diaper Genie

I didn't know what this gizmo was until 3 years ago. It should be in every nursery that exists even on a public level such as Malls.

I think Diaper Genie's are great for newborns but once your baby starts eating solids the smell is very hard to contain.
The toddler diapers left the room so stinky that opening the tiny window didn't do anything. The diaper pail was enclosed under a cabinet in our lounge but it didn't make a difference.

I work where a number of diapers are changed throughout the day for infants and toddlers. The key to keeping them non-smelly is emptying them and starting over. None of the rooms where these are in my work place are smelly, so it can be done. Just like taking your trash out...same thing. The Diaper Genie isn't a diaper pail.

Oh! I just thought of what might be the difference! Here it is...I had to learn this to help with infants and todds this summer. This is how the pro's do it. Let's see if I remember it right. Hey! You get it all on MDB!

Professional Diapering 101

1. Set out wipes (out of container), diaper and diaper creme if needed.
2. Put on plastic or latex gloves
3. Get the child and lay them on the changing station (todds walk up steps to it)
4. Remove clothing and soiled diaper
5. Clean the area with wipes
6. Apply diaper creme if needed
7. Put on new diaper
8. With the soiled diaper in one gloved hand, use the other glove hand to start removing the one glove with the diaper in it, at that point the diaper is wrapped up in the glove. Then use your clean finger to slip off the other glove and put in diaper genie.
9. Wipe the childs hand with clean wipes (do NOT ask me why you do this)
10. Put the clothing back on
11. Wash your hands and the childs hands with anti-bacterial soap and rinse
12. Put the child back to play
13. Remove paper sheet from changing pad
14. Spray the area with soapy water and wipe off.
15. Spray the area with bleach/water solution
16. Replace paper sheet on pad

SIXTEEN steps!!! I am so not kidding! 17 if you count having to wash your hands again after #16.

But the difference is using the gloves. So the diapers are discarded INSIDE the gloves and then inside the diaper genie.

No charge for the instruction! lol

Good point. I gave up my diaper genie a while ago and went to double bagging the diapers with those scented bags. I think with the budget cuts in the church (the billions of dollars isn't enough to hire janitors) the rooms and bathrooms were not being cleaned as often by the members as when the janitors did the work. Maybe the diaper pail was only getting changed once a week.
Gross!

Hmmm...I'm surprised no one else would use the scented bags. I sure would have! As a matter of fact, I bring my own!

LOL!!! That was great. I hope this doesn't make me sound like the obsessive compulsive person that I am, but I would love to mail these instructions to some family members. It really irritates me when Moms change poopy diapers on my carpet with no diaper underneath or any kind of changing pad to protect my floor. They could at least change it on the tile or bathroom floor in case of a leak. I offer them some extra pads, my changing table, etc. and they refuse. I need to be more aggressive and just make them use one.

One time I went into my bathroom after a BIL changed his toddlers diaper. It had leaked all over my bathroom rug and he used my beach towel to lay underneath his kid after he saw the mess. He hung the towel back up and didn't tell anybody. All day long when I went in that bathroom it smelled so horrible. Luckily I found the problem before somebody had used the towel or the rug. Now when I am over at their house I am worried to sit on their furniture or carpet if that's how they change diapers at other peoples homes.

Seven...that's truly how the pro's do it according to health regulations and standards. Think about the situations you described...think about the germs!!! YUCK!!!

I'm pretty sure the men won't be perusing this thread any longer now that diaper talk has commenced. ;)
