Normally I seldom change in front of my daughter cause there are other family members in the house could look after her when I go to bath.
But when I bring her to go shopping, I will bring her into the fitting room so that she won't run everywhere and went missing.

Right now, I am bf my baby boy and thus she will point to my breast said "nen nen" when I feed her didi.

I do agree with Win, its should be ok for baby/toddler to see the same sex parent naked but not the other one.

I always shower together wit my 22 mths son and changed cloth in front of him.    He'll always say 'mama x malu'...    So I will explain to him that if we don't want to malu then we must wear our cloth immediately n don't let other ppl to see us....

But he's too young to understand those words, n I always need to chase and force him to wear his diaper n cloth.    For me is nothing wrong as long as we feel comfortable n depend on our kid age too..

Hi,

We hv been changing n doing our 'big/small business' in front of my girl since she was born til now she is coming to 3 yo.

So far she hvnt ask yet y do we hv hair there or why is mama n papa r different. She only asked me abt my breast n i told her dat she used to drink nen nen frm there n now she will sometimes pretend to suck or just touch it.

There is a time when we were hving dinner wz my in laws, she touched my breast n told my MIL dat its mama's breast. Aiyoyo i feel so malu n my MIL just laughed only        . Frm then onwards i will always remind her    dat she can touch mama's breast only when we r in our room n not outside n in front of everybody.

Another time is, when hubby is peeing in our attached bathroom, she just stand there n watch him til hubby oso feel shy        .

When i am hving my menses she will ask what is it. I told her dat mama is oso wearing a 'diaper' bcos blood is coming out. She is so concern n ask me is it pain pain woh        .

hi thr,
for me it does't matter. i used to it ad. and i told my gal since she was 2 yo. this part is shame shame one cannot let ppl touch or c. now she is 4 yo, we stil bath together n change together too cos it save times. haha...

my gal will not naked around the house cos i told her got man in house then cannot be like tat. if nobody then can just wear cloth wit panty (take out the skirt).

now i'm pegnant, so her dad will bath for her some times but ask her to put bb bath her self lo. if we bath together she will ask me y my breast become so big n touch it. i told her s/day when u get married n hv ur bb, u too will be like this.

i'd read some article tat ask we as moms not to hide this matter from our child. so just let it be. our childs will grow up some day soon.

my babe is still very young, 9 months so dont know yet. my hubby still bath with her. i sometime joke if i cant find both of them in the house, they are probably under the shower together trying to cool down.

all that said, i think same gender parent and child are ok and even not same gender if they dont know the difference yet, its fine. i told my hubby not too long he cannot enjoy this naked time liao cause sure my daughter curious and start investigating his parts.

the weird thing is if i bath with my daughter, she is always curious at my breasts, always have to touch and pinch but she dont do it with my hubby.

Peggy, don't worry much.    Majority of the kids will do that (run naked and let you catch)... it's just phases that they are going through.    They will soon to learn what is 'shame shame' to them....

I have experienced changing in front of babies/toddlers guys and gals, i.e. my sons and dotter.

One thing for sure, I would instill the 'shame, shame' in my phrase to them by telling them it is a shame to let others see or tell. My little gal knows that she needs to close the bathroom door when I bath her. Everytime when I take her to the bathroom, the next thing that she would do is to close the door herself.

When I need to change with her inside my bedroom, she would close the door for me.

My naughty hubby at one time even showed her where his birdie is!!!

My sis once shared a funny joke with me.    It happened when she brought her youngest son to Sushi King.    Biz was good so they had to Q outside.    While Q-ing, the son went inside & started a conversation with the patrons there.... few mins later, she heard loud laughing!    After checking... it was my nephew that told them "My mother is a striptease, and my grandpa is a warrior and died in war!"   

He said so becos he watched my sis changing her clothes before... as for warrior & died in war, it's all cooked up (imaginary) stories. Haha...

So, it's not very advisable but sometimes, no choice.    Like you said, cannot leave them out of our sight.

Dear mummies,
Any mummy has the experinces to get change or put on clothing in front of your bb ? It was happened to me last Sat where only my girl & I stayed at home. While I was taking my bath in the afternoon, my girl banging the bathroom's door & crying loudly, wanting for me. So, after I've completed, I quickly came out, carried her & 'manja" her in order to stop her from crying. Also, left with no choice, I've to put her in my room & put on my clothes in front of her. She was like "full of curiousity" & kept "watching" at    me. Not sure it's Ok to do that ?
