Also, I don't think I'm going to get a changing table. Instead I think I will have a kit to move around the house- do you use alternatives to changing tables? Do you just dig in the diaper bag when you need to change baby's diaper? Or if you have a kit in a basket or something, how many do you have around the house?What do you do for diaper changes?
I don't use powder and cream every change. Just take off the nappy, wipe with a wet wipe, apply bum cream if a rash is coming on or something and back on with a clean nappy.
I had a change table with all my kids. I loved it!
It had a shelf underneath, a lot come with two shelves so its incredibly handy for storage.
You can keep his diapers, spare wipes and all the other paraphenalia there at arms reach. Plus I had his burb cloths and wraps, toys...all sorts of things.
I had a diaper depot to hang off the side of mine, I loved it! babies r us stocked it.

I prefer a proper changing area as lets face it, poo and wee isn't exactly sanitary so I prefer it be done in one spot and not spread over the house. I've seen people changing their baby or kitchen tables and kitchen benches and to me that is just disgusting!! Never mind spreading the smell over the house lol
It was a good height for me to stand too and not be straining my back leaning over or anything.
Its much easier to control them on there. When they start to roll over and get a lot stronger mine would try and flip over and crawl or run away with poop hanging off their bum. Its much easier on a change table as they can't do that as you have better control when you're standing up over them rather than sitting on the floor or even leaning on the bed. (and who wants to risk getting poop on the carpet or sheets!) You have no idea how strong or fast they can be lol!
So anyway lol, I recommend getting one. Its one of my must havesWhat do you do for diaper changes?
You don't need baby powder if you're using disposable diapers. You do need a changing table, or you will have a very sore back from bending over to change the baby on the bed or the couch or whatever. And if you have a little boy, you definitely want a changing table rather than using the bed, the couch, or the carpet, because they squirt!What do you do for diaper changes?
Changing tables aren't strictly necessary...in the end you get used to changing the baby on your lap, on a towel on the floor, whatever...you can't hoick a changing table around with you! A changing bag is fine - just make sure to keep it somewhere you can grab it quickly when you need it. A little talcum powder is no bad thing, it protects against chafing from the diaper - also some cream to help with rash if baby gets itWhat do you do for diaper changes?
We had a changing table. Everything in one spot. It was a GREAT idea, however - I did not find it very functional for me. Instead, I had little baskets stashed with the necessities in various parts of the house. Inside of a close-able end table, and in nightstand drawers as well. That way, every poo or pee didn't have to mean I had to trek to the bedroom. Diaperchecks could simply be checks changes and resume the activity. I suppose there were three 'stations'. The Changing Table, my bed and the floor in the living room. Each kit had some burp rags (for laying baby on to protect surface) diapers, rash cream, and wipes.What do you do for diaper changes?
i had a change table, and did have until last week, and my son is 20 months old. I think they're worth it, it keeps everything in the one spot. I never used any powder or anything, i'd use nappy rash cream at the first sign of redness, otherwise it was pull it off, wipe off excess poo with the nappy, wipe with wet wipes and put a new one on.
