NEVER!
There is no emoticon or degree of capitalization or number of exclaimation points that can acurately convey how putrid and wrong this practice is. Just quit it.
Obviously, this is an issue on which people disagree. If it were really such
a terrible practice, there could be a rule against it. Saying your opinion in
extreme terms does not make it more true. Again, the "germ" argument is
just not tenable when compared to the real germ risks on an airplane (air,
unwashed adult hands, seatbelts handled by countless folks w/o washing,
etc.)
Most parents know that diaper changes simply do not generate huge germ
risks. As I said before, give me baby-tush germs over adult-hand germs
anyday.
