is it ok to let daddy change newborn baby girl diapers?

That's ridiculous. Why is inappropriate for a father to change his newborn daughter's diapers?! HE IS HER FATHER!!! Does your mother think that he'll get some wack-o ideas by looking at HIS OWN newborn baby girl? You changed your sons diapers I am sure... why is that any different? It's still talking about the opposite sex.

I totally understand it being weird that a father teaches his daughter about female parts, or teacher her to pee, or how to wear a bra or a pad or something, but changing her diapers?! My husband helps me out with our daughter all the time (she's 3 months old) and the thought of "that might be weird" or "that might be inappropriate" has never crossed my mind.

OH for Pete's sakes! It's fine!! LOL. When my daughter was a week old, we had family Christmas and we were late for our family dinner. I told my husband to hop in the shower and take the baby with him. I walked in to get some lotion and I noticed my husband and daughter in the shower so I opened the shower door and there he is- in his BOXERS. I told him he looked ridiculous!! But he was scared too. We did rock, papers, scissors to see who did diaper duty and bath duty. I have so say (even though he disagrees) that I changed WAY more poopy diapers than him. But it's fine. He's the dad.

Yes he is her parent too. This is different times the same rules don't apply. I was told the same thing by my little girl's dad and his mother that he shouldn't change her diapers or bathe her because she's a girl. I told them that they were wrong that he helped make her that he needs to be a parent too. Needless to say I'm not with him anymore and my new guy helps take care of my daughter. I mean if you really thought that he was going to touch her inappropriately you wouldn't have had a baby with him in the first place.

Congratulations on your pregnancy! Of course this is a personal decision, and one that should be decided by you and your husband, not your mother (or all the other people who will tell you what you should do...) I have two girls and my husband changes their diapers, bathes them, etc. I don't think there is anything wrong with it. I can understand some people being uncomfortable with opposite sex parents being naked, etc. when a child is older, but with a baby?

Absolutely! My brother has a baby girl and he changed her diapers and they both turned out just fine lol. the point is that he is her father and daddy is supposed to do the same thing mommy does. Is that an old wives tale or something?

I think it's fine. He's her dad. Of course he should be changing diapers. What if you weren't around, for some reason? Should he just let a baby sit in it's own filth for the sake of decency? There is nothing wrong about a father seeing his infant children naked, especially when he's washing or changing them.

Well, first of all your son is 5!! You need to see him naked in order to know that he is fine. There is nothing sexual on a kid.

Yes, you husband has to change his daughters diapers. It is his daughter, and she is a baby, what do you think? Stop seeing everything in a sexual way!

Absolutely it is fine for daddy to help with diaper changes and baths. The same way it was okay for you to do those things with your son. My husband helped with both of our daughters and I wouldn't have had it any other way.

ummm yeah.... i have 2 daughters and a son my hubby is my oldest daughters step dad but he raised her from a week old and the real father of my other 2 children, he has always changed diapers, bathed the kids, he even helped potty train the girls soooo.... honestly there is no need to not let him do fatherly stuff with his daughter. :)

Unless your husband is some sick perverted individual that would get sexual pleasure out of seeing his infant daughter naked then yeah...he should be doing diapers and baths. My husband does both...especially diapers. My father has chnaged my daughter and abthed her too. There is nothing sexual about seeing your daughter naked.
