[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My friend is a flight attendant and she said that people always change their baby at the tray table and then give her the diaper to throw out. People are disgusting![/quote]

OMG. Terrible. I'm sorry for your friend. We fly A LOT. I've always changed my kid in the airplane bathroom. He thinks it's fun. After the kid is older and you can do standing diaper changes, he can stand on the closed toilet seat. Until then, yes, there are changing tables. Bring your own disposable pad if you're a germaphobe.  We just use purell wipes generously until we deplane and then take showers/baths as the first available opportunity...[/quote]

This. I’ve probably flown 50 times or more with a child in diapers (I have 3 kids and we travel a ton). Always always always change them in the bathroom. On a few rare occasions when the bathroom was tiny and not maneuverable I asked flight attendants and they let me change the baby (on top of changing pad) on the floor in the galley under their jump seats. [b]Diapers MJST be disposed of in the lavatory. [/b]That’s not even an option. I think once in 8 years I changed a small baby’s diaper at our seat (pee only) because the fasten seatbelt sign never went off and she was very wet. It was a super fast change and I did it across my lap and dh’s.

I can’t believe people actually do the above regularly. How thoughtless. [/quote]

Actually, diapers are not supposed to be disposed of anywhere on the plane.  We take plastic grocery sacks to bag up any dirty diapers and carry off plane 
ourselves.  [/quote]

Nope. I’ve been told by multiple airline personnel that the lavatory bathroom is he place to dispose of diapers. [/quote]
