Maybe he figured diaper changing was women's work.  (I didn't see any sign of a mother.) So my lucky fellow passengers and I got to breathe the sweet smell for around an hour and a half. At least it wasn't a transcontinental flight

You guys should have said something. Not only is feces a health hazard, but that baby probably got a
terrible diaper rash as a result of having feces squished between the diaper and their bumcheek skin for an hour and a half (which to me, is bordering on child abuse, for a parent not to change a diaper in a timely manner [which to me is within 20 minutes of the "smell test").
Also, you could have summoned a stewardess to make this request directly to the man too, if you didn't want to do it youself....that's what they're there for......
