You may think that changing your baby's diapers while out in public is no big deal, but many people are not happy to witness this baby ritual. That's why it's very important to ask yourself, "Who might be offended if I change my baby's diaper right here, right now?" If you're in the company of other new parents, chances are they won't mind at all, but be sure to ask them before you do it. If you're in the middle of library story hour, though, it's safe to assume that changing your baby's diaper will have to wait---unless things smell badly, in which case you'll have to slip out. This may seem like a common sense thing to you, but you'd be surprised at how many parents are inconsiderate of others when it comes to changing their baby's diapers while away from home.</font>
