A survey conducted by Nosalpiques.com with the collaboration of several AMPAS of Spanish nurseries about new trends in consumer habits and diaper purchases reveals a disturbing fact.
In 80% of Spanish homes, it is the mother who performs the task of changing her son's diaper at midnight. We would like to contrast it with your own experiences, so we ask you: Who changes the baby's diaper at home at midnight?.
If I go to my own experience, I am part of the statistic, or rather, the average up, since I could say that 95% of the time it was I who changed the diaper to my three daughters at night.
It is true that breastfeeding is the mother yes or yes who takes care of the baby more at night. If you take a bottle, the father can perfectly give you the shots of the night and also take care of the diaper change. Let's say that as we are already on topic, when we breastfeed, we also change the diaper after the shot.
But it is not an excuse. And in my case it is also a self-criticism. It has been two years since I have stopped changing diapers (at night and during the day) and I think it is something that would change if I went back time.
We mothers carry too many tasks and responsibilities and many times We don't know how to ask for help when we need it. One would like our partner to realize what we need without asking, and it would be ideal, but if not, we have to know how to ask. Honey, I'm very tired, could you change your baby's diaper tonight?
One does it for inertia, for not asking, because he is sleeping so tastefully that it gives something to wake him up, and it is done with pleasure, as a part of the nighttime routine, with pampering and massage, I did not even get out of bed because I slept with my baby next door. But baby care is a matter of two, also at night. Do not you think?
Of the couples surveyed, Only 4% of Spanish parents confess to being in charge of changing the diaper at night, while the remaining 16% claim to combine this task.
More survey data
In addition to who is responsible for changing the diaper at night. The survey has revealed more interesting facts.
The parents spend on average between € 20 and € 40 per month in diapers and are usually loyal to a particular brand. Among the most used, Dodot and Deliplus.
When leaving the diaper, most parents prefer spring or summer to take it away from their children, which makes it clear that the process is more based on what is comfortable for adults and not because the child wants it.
A 40% use the potty as an intermediate step before the little ones use the bathroom.
So, going back to the question above, Who changes the baby's diaper at home at midnight?
