I was just wondering people's preferences on where they change their kid's diapers.

I am only making this poll for just the reason that I was just wondering what others do.

Anyplace goes. I have a changing table (pack n play) in the living room, but it's usually piled with stuff so I don't use it at all.

I'm not sure what halacha has to do with where you change diapers.
am I the only one?

not in front of the Shabbos candles. that's from Kitzur Dinei Uminhagei Neiros Shabbos kodesh, by Rabbi Dubov.

In the kid's room, never thought of it as rule but I always end up changing him there so as not to smell up the house.

I try to do it in his room (on the "changing table" but sometimes on a bed or the couch. DH prefers the floor.

its no respect to change in front of sforim embarrassed

so by us its only in the bathroom or kids room!

I usually do it on my bed, but really where ever it's most convenient.

For me it was the changing table or on the bed. DH would change anywhere, but he also liked the floor the best, said he had more room there.

We have a dresser in the kid's room with a changing pad on it. That's where we change diapers 99% of the time.

shining light, thats exactly what we have. once in a while ill change a pish diaper downstairs, but I try not to. to teach the kids that certain things that are "dirty" cant be just done anywhere.

Well, anonymous Amother, since I always worked full time - thereby lesening some of DH's load - it was only fair he take a large role in the childcare.

I think it depends on the age of the baby. Only nursing babies' diapers can be changed anywhere. When they start eating from the 7 minim, then they can't be changed in front of seforim, davening, etc.
