As a first-time expecting mom, I'm just starting to do all the research in putting together a registry for a shower in a few months, and I have what might be an odd question...
Many of the changing tables on offer show a max weight capacity of 30 lbs. But kids are in diapers for ~20+ months and some kids can hit 30 lbs by 12 months, right?
So the question is, does it make sense to buy a changing table that can only accommodate the baby for a year of their diaper time? And where/how is one expected to change the baby after they are too heavy for the changing table?
Re: Changing Table Functionality Question
Married 1/2/99.
TTC since 4/09.
Diagnosed PCOS. Diagnosed Hypothryoid 11/09.
SHG & SA normal. PCOS Research study started 5/10.
Clomid/Femara cycle #1 - 6/10 = BFN
Clomid/Femara cycle #2 - 7/10 = BFP #1 - Missed miscarriage 9/2/10
11/12 - BFP #2 - 11/22 - m/c
5/1/11 - BFP #3 - Pre-eclampsia, IUGR & bed rest from 32w. DD born via induction 1/4/12.
This is us as well.
DD is 26 months and 27.5 lbs. 90% of her diaper changes happen on her changing table.
BFP 1- EDD 2/09/11 Missed MC DX @11 weeks D&C- 7/25/10 BFP 2- EDD 12/22/11 Natural MC @ 5w 2d BFP 3- EDD 1/25/12 DD Josephine born 1/16/12
That said, we used her changing table till she was close to one (when she got too wiggly) but even after we stopped changing her on it - it was great for extra storage. I bough wicker baskets and stored all her Onsies, blankets and diapers on it.
We didn't even bother getting the changing table out for DD2. She gets changed on our bed, the couch, the floor, etc - basically wherever it's convienent and that's worked for the past 9 months.
