If you no longer use a changing pad...

rssnlvr

Tonight is DD's first night in her new "big girl room." (pause for my emotional sniffling.) In her nursery, we were still using the changing table, but we don't have one of those in her new room. So, if you no longer use a changing table/pad, where do you do diaper changes? Where do you put on their pjs, etc.?

We never had a changing table for my little sister, so we just changed her on the floor, on a towel or changing pad. My mom said she did the same for me, but I think that has more to do with her dropping my older sister and accidentally banging her head on the changing table as she caught her. She never used one after that.

My point is that the floor is perfectly fine.

We never used a changing pad. We used the changing table part of the pack n play until recently. Now I just change her on the floor.

We change diapers on the floor or bed and she gets dressed (with our help) standing in front of her mirror.

I would still usually just take the older one next door to the younger one's room and change the diaper on the changing table.  I *hated* changing anywhere else - hurt my back!

Putting on clothes just happened on the bed/floor from then on though.

We've always just used a blanket or towel on the floor. PJs go in their dressers.

floor. i don't think tommy has ever been on a changing pad, even though there is one in his room!

We've always kept the upstairs changing pad on the bathroom counter. The space just works out that way. We still use it for Abby as a soft place to lay her down to brush her teeth, make sure her girlie parts are clean and get her dressed. I think we would still be using it even if Emily wasn't in the picture. We do downstairs diaper changes on the floor though.

We still have a pack and play set up in our bedroom that we do diaper changes in.  We also have a changing table downstairs.  We put jammies on downstairs (we have a jammie drawer right next to the changing table).

In the past, I never used a changing table/pad. I always used the bed or floor.

BUT, it killed my back. If you have any back issues, you might consider spending the money on another changing table for your DD's new room (I think Ikea has sturdy ones for $30).

Congrats on her transitition, bittersweet though it may be!

we do diaper changes and all clothes changes in our bedroom, on the bed.  we put a towel down for diaper changes.

Our changing table is still in Ocho's room.  We have changed Nove in her crib this whole time.  When Ocho is finished PT (a while off, I know), we'll move the changing table to Nove's room.  They both move too much when we change them on the floor.

On the floor.

All her clothes live in her dresser or the closet.

Ditto, except change her to his.

How did her first night in her big girl room go??!

we took the changing pad off the dresser when dd moved to her big girl room too. we now change her diaper and her bed usually. pj's go on while we chase her down the hall or if we're lucky on the bed as well.
