Al Ferguson from The Dad Network is standing up for fathers everywhere who struggle to find somewhere to change their baby's nappies while out.
After being told by four major UK retailers and restaurants, Al, who was constantly told the changing facilities were in “the ladies”, realised that it is only ok for mums to change their baby’s nappy. In fact, in one restaurant, a member of the public even offered to change the nappy for him.
“What on earth is going on? If we’re serious about this whole equality thing (and I’m very serious about parental equality) then things have got to change. There have got to be safe, clean places for dads to change their baby’s nappy when they’re out and about, as a basic parental right. If establishments want our custom, they need to provide the correct service,” he wrote on the website.
“We feel that it’s important to name and shame those establishments that haven’t joined the 21st century and still think that dads don’t change nappies. If we want to see a genuine change in our towns & cities, businesses have to realise that dads have babies too.[sic]”
