How about the following?

1. After changing the diaper, we will do something.
2. After diaper changing, " .
3. After the diaper change, " .

It depends on the context.

But I might say
eg After I/you/we change this diaper, . . .

Thank you.

1. Why would you change "the" to "this"? What difference do you detect?

2. Why would context be matter? Then, are you saying that #2 and 3 are possible? Can you make some situational conversation for these two?

Thanks for your help in advance.

These are both theoretically grammatical, but in the US neither would be used. You'd say instead: "Do you want me to tickle you some more?"

All three are theoretically grammatical, but in the US none of them would be used. You'd say instead: "After I change his diapers, we'll do something."

I felt like it was something I'd say if I was closely involved in changing an actual diaper. eg If I had one in my hands.

2. Why would context be matter
