[QUOTE="forkeeps251, post: 676032, member: 12854"] No, to either one of those things... at least without direct supervision. Bathing is obvious... and at five months can the baby even sit up unassisted? That is just plain dangerous. I have an almost two year old and would trust no one but myself or my husband to bath her (we also have a 10 and 13 yo). As far as the diaper is concerned, that is less of an issue but still an issue. Pee, ok... maybe. But a dirty diaper? 7 year olds are not the most hygienic people out there, typically... especially boys. Without proper handwashing, wiping and cleaning it could very well have some unintended effects. My oldest son got shigella from improper hand washing at daycare. [/QUOTE]
