As you probably know, babies can\u2019t actually speak \u2013 but Deanne Carson believes there are ways in which a tot can communicate with you without words to say when they\u2019re happy with being changed.\n

Deanne discussed the matter on ABC News back in 2018, and it\u2019s safe to say she got the reaction you\u2019d expect.\n

She suggested that parents ask \u2018if it\u2019s okay\u2019 to change their diaper before doing so.\n

\u201cOf course the baby is not going to respond \u2018yes mum, that\u2019s awesome. I\u2019d love to have my nappy changed\u2019,\u201d Deanne admitted.\n
\u201cBut if you leave a space, and wait for body language and wait to make eye contact, then you\u2019re letting that child know that their response matters.\u201d\n
She didn\u2019t say what parents should do should a baby\u2019s language suggest that they didn\u2019t want changing, however, meaning that the baby would be left lying in their own filth until they \u2018consented\u2019. Hardly an ideal scenario\u2026\n
As I\u2019m sure you can imagine, Deanne\u2019s sentiments went down like a lead balloon with the majority of parents.\n

One person wrote on Twitter: \u201eEither she has never wrestled a toddler during a change or worse, she just left hers in a sh*tty nappy until it was ready to consent.\u201d\n
Another person labeled the whole thing as \u2018seemingly absurd\u2019.\n
\u201cYou\u2019ve got to be kidding me,\u201d fumed a third. \u201eA child relies their parent to take care of them and that includes personal hygiene! Especially as toddlers and babies.\u201d\n
Elsewhere different social media users agreed that consent is important, but Deanne may have taken it a step too far.\n
\u201cI\u2019ve never been so confused in my life. Teaching children consent is 100% important but come on,\u201d someone said.\n

A couple of years after Deanne\u2019s viral interview, a popular childcare chain seemingly took a leaf out of her book and also encouraged parents to ask their child\u2019s permission to change their diaper.\n
Staff from Only About Children centres issued advice to parents and told them to \u2018ask for co-operation\u2019 when it came to changing their kids diapers.\n
\u201cAsk for your baby\u2019s help, talk them through what you are doing and encourage the use of senses,\u201d the advice said, as per The Herald Sun.\n
\u201cWhen toddlers become mobile, nappy changing may look quite different. Continue to ask for co-operation but understand that your toddler may wish to now stand for their nappy change.\n
\u201cAlso to encourage their independence, you may ask him [or her] to take off his own nappy or wipe himself.\u201d\n
