Expert Claims Parents Should Ask Babies For Consent Before Changing Their Diapers

A storm of criticism has descended upon author and educator Deanne Carson following her suggestion that parents should seek consent from babies before changing their diapers, sparking a debate that has divided opinion.

Carson’s comments, aired on ABC News, advocated for what she termed a „culture of consent” within households, urging parents to verbally seek permission from newborns before initiating diaper changes. While some have applauded her efforts to promote bodily autonomy from an early age, others have derided her stance as absurd and impractical.
