A Natural Home

What is the point of a changing table?  You can use a bed, or the floor, or the counter. Why is a changing table a nice thing to have in your home?

I have 5 kids and I wish I had a used a changing table more often. My thought it was a waste of money.  Frankly, a friend of mine had one and I loved it. It was nice having the diapers in a small space under the table. A bar of SOAP stuffed with pins for the diapers. It was great to have a set up with diapers on a shelf under the solid wood changing space where baby is safe.

The nice thing, about changing tables, is that the space is all in one unit.  The diapers are there, the wipes are there, the covers are there ,all in one space and contained in a convenient location where baby is safe and secure.

A changing table is a great asset to a nursery, but also convenient to have around the house. Recently, a mommy bought 3 changing tables. At first I thought it was odd, but then I realised that she was going to put a changing table on each floor.  SHe said she did not want to run up and down the stairs changing the baby, but having one on each floor made life a little easier for her.  While I thought it was a little overkill, she felt it was just the perfect combination.

If you can not afford a nice changing table, secure a space in your room where baby can be safe and you can put all the diapers in a place that is easy to reach.
