Holding diaper pins in mouth when changing diapers.

I have this habit of holding open diaper pins between my pursed lips when i change diapers. My husband thinks it's totally grosse, but it comes as second nature to me because i have always done it ever since i can remember.

Do i have any other mothers or babysitters support on this one?

 

i did that when my neice was a baby, i dunno why - never thought about it. Its just one of those things we do lol

 

I usually stick them into something away from the baby, but I agree with your husband that it is kind gross. I know pee is sterile and all, but it doesn't mean that I want urine residue in my mouth.

 

I always put em there too. I can't see how that would be gross,it's not like your sticking the dirty diaper in your mouth. The pin never sees any action.

 

sometimes my son pees so much that the urine soaks throughout the whole front of the diaper

 

if you stick them into a bar of soap they'll be easier to poke through the dipe

 

I actually have a bar of soap attached to the changing table I am building. It's in the basement right now though. I need to finish it up so we can start using it.

 

i use to just sit them away from the baby too. i can't no as i have other little ones around. i have to be more careful. i usually poke them in the couch near me if sitting there. or if i'm on the floor i'll gently sit them in my lap. i have at time put them in my mouth never really thought about it. but really how many microorganisms are on things that we don't see.
