I have a combo dresser/changing table upstairs in the house. I'm wondering if I should just buy a separate changing table for the downstairs (to put in playroom) so I wouldn't have to go up & down to change the baby. Or should I just change baby on couch or on floor with the mats? Thanks
Re: Would you buy another changing table?
I used the pack and play changing station downstairs.
I never used the changing table. Maybe only a handful of times when DS was a newborn. But we were rarely in his room during diaper changes. Maybe just at night when we'd get his jammies on. And usually, we'd put his diaper and jammies on right after his bath anyways.
I found it much easier to keep a little basket with diapers, wipes, cream, and a bunch of those swaddling blankets (like the ones you get at the hospital) in a few rooms throughout the house. Whenever i needed to change him, i'd lay a blanket down and change right on the floor or couch. That way, if it was messy, i would just throw the blanket in the wash. It was much easier to wash that than keep washing and changing the pad cover.

We still use the changing table and have been taking DS upstairs to change him.
I am getting a diaper caddy for when number 2 arrives so I can have diapers, wipes, etc. downstairs.
