Changing diapers – an essential part of parenting

Changing diapers is a regular part of taking care of babies, and while it may not be the most enjoyable task, it is something that almost all parents go through. However, when it comes to the best way to care for your baby’s diapers, opinions can vary. Different experts and parents have differing views on the best diapers, how often to change them, and the correct method for doing so.

Lottie Daley’s unique approach

Lottie Daley, a mom who recently appeared on This Morning, has a unique perspective on when to change a diaper. She believes that it is essential to ask for a baby’s consent before doing so. While it may not be possible for a baby to understand or respond in the same way we do, Lottie still tries to ask, with the hope of setting an expectation for the child to ask and be asked before being touched.

Teaching consent from a young age

According to Daley, asking for consent is not limited to diaper changes. This practice should be extended to other activities, such as bath time, cleaning, wiping, and even tickling. Lottie believes that teaching children about consent from a young age is crucial. It helps them set their own limits and learn to respect the boundaries of others.

Russell Brand’s perspective

Comedian Russell Brand, who Lottie admires, has also expressed similar views on parenting. On This Morning, he talked about how we should not do anything to a child without their agreement that we wouldn’t do to an adult. Brand suggests that parents consider how uncomfortable or inappropriate it would be to tickle an adult without their consent and apply the same principle to their children.

Criticism and concerns

Daley’s views have attracted criticism on social media. Some people worry that her approach may mean never helping children clean themselves, which could lead to hygiene issues and health risks. Others believe that banning activities like tickling is extreme and takes away from the special aspects of parenting.

While opinions on this topic may vary, it is essential to consider the importance of consent and respect for personal boundaries, even at a young age. Discussing and finding a balance that works for both the child and the parent is key.
