Changing a nappy in the lounge
 

Am I being out of order in thinking this is disgusting?

Whitnessed at Heathrow Business BA Lounge today. Lady with a baby had baby out on one of the longer soft seating chairs changing the nappy, in middle of lounge people all around.

I really wanted to advise her of available baby changing facilities just a 15 second walk away, but next thing I thought I’d be in Daily Mail branded a women/baby hater!

Just can’t understand this myself when facilities are available.

Wouldn't bother me to be honest. Travelling with a baby isn't easy, and carting paraphernalia around to changing facilities which may be occupied is often quite difficult, where a quick change is often the easier and quicker option. Unless there's been an explosion the contents aren't going to be spread around.

But I'm guessing the popcorn will be out for this one.

Should not be done in the same room as people eat.

I would never have done this. Always use the baby change facilities. It’s not fair on others and I’m wondering what sort of personal hygiene the mother has and whether she’s washed her hands afterwards. 🤢

Disgusting and a staff member should have been informed straight away.

whoever did this should have been thrown out. No excuse - there are facilities available.

There's very little that can come out of a nappy that's worse that's what's already on public seating .

As I say, it wouldn't bother me much, but it would depend on what was in the nappy and how it was changed. You're way more likely to be made ill by someone inconsiderately travelling with a virus than from a quick nappy change, and there are way more disgusting results left in toilets on flights or in the lounges. Nappy changing - which to be perfectly honest I've never seen in a lounge anyway, nor in public anywhere I can remember - is way down my own list of inconsiderate toilet related behaviour.

Anyway if it offends you, the solution is to point that out to the offender rather than random fellow travellers on a bulletin board. Is this really BA related?

Well I got caught out several times in the middle of swapping the dirty one for the clean one. It’s not pleasant.

Whether or not you've personally witnessed it is not really relevant; the OP did see it.

I'm with the majority here - this was disgusting, inconsiderate behaviour and should have been reported immediately.

I think is the lounge agent it should be pointed out to. Whilst some of your points make sense, I simply can't see how it is accaptable to change a nappy in a lounge next to strangers who are enjoying their breakfasts.

Reminds me of the 'walking stick by food' thread the other day which seemed to mysteriously disappear.
