Where do you change your lo?

Shelleybell

We are still changing dd on her changing table but it has become increasingly difficult as she barely fits on it and she squirms so much it makes it impossible. 

 

Where do you change your lo?

I change her on the floor in her room on a blanket. At 6 months I had to stop changing DD1 on the changing table. She's a wild one!! Lol.

we tried the floor a few months back and she literally just started running away flipping over and running away.  how do you get lo to stay still?

I change DS on the floor with a changing pad underneath.

I change DD on the living room floor but still use her changing pad.. I keep it located under the coffee table and when its time to change she'll pull it out and sit down on it.. although sometimes she runs away not wanting a diaper change.

Oh yeah, that started to become a fight. I tell her no once then just keep putting her back. Eventually she got the picture.

Usually on the floor in his room. He's less likely to try to get away if he has a toy. If DH is home, I sometimes call him in to help.

We never had a changing table. I used to use a blanket on my bed, and then I actually used our big Graco stroller for awhile (since I never used it anyway).

The floor or the couch. If he's extra wiggly I do it quick while trying to distract him. (Funny faces, talking to him, etc. or I'll hand him a toy while I do it)

Yep.

I have learned to change diapers lightning fast lol.

My son is 22 months, hangs off the changing table but we still change poopy diapers on it. He is too wild if we try to change him on the floor. He gets up and refuses to be changed. We are almost potty trained thank goodness!

We spend 99% of our time in the living room, so we change her on the floor or on our ottoman with a changing pad/sheet thing underneath her.

Wherever. Floor, couch, chair, windowsill, counter, bed. Wherever I am and I don't really worry about it. Her changing table is in her room upstairs, she gets a diaper changed upstairs maybe once or twice a week.

The windowsill!! I lol'd!

I never got a changing table, so I either use DD's crib or the floor.  I have a basket of diaper stuff in her room and another one out in the living room.  When it's bedtime or right before/after a nap, I change her in her room in her crib.  If we're out in the living room, I change her on the floor.

mbgreenwalt

We still use the changing table.  She is impossible to change on the floor,  she flips and tries to crawl away the whole time.  On the changing table she just lays there and whines.

On the floor.

Anywhere. I have diaper supplies in pretty much every room in the house.

If it's a poop diaper, I lay down a blanket and change her. If it's just pee, I put the clean diaper under her butt and change her on the couch.

TiffanyBerry

Changing table - she puts her feet up on the edge - if she's poopy.

Otherwise, just standing in the middle of the room wherever she is, or wherever I catch her after we play chase.

Always the changing table on a dresser in his room. He is 27lbs and it hasn't been too much of a problem. He does squirm, but I just give him a toy to distract him.

Lilouwynb86

Floor, bed couch, changing table attached to her pack-n-play. Anywhere really. My friend taught me to always put the clean diaper under my LO before opening the dirty one. She gets (lightly) swatted and told no if she tries to get up in the middle of a changing and at 15 mo. she pretty much has the idea.

Sometimes the floor and sometimes the changing table, but either way, it is a big ordeal.  When I change him on the floor he usually takes off running.  My solution is to shut the door so he can't escape and just kind of follow him around and catch him. You could also try to keep a special changing toy on hand to keep her still. That usually works for a little while for us.

Changing table here too. I changed DD on our changing table up until we potty trained her, just before she turned two. I did put a folded blanket at the head of the changer to protect her from hitting her head towards the end though because she was way too tall for it.

She can still fit on the changing pad on her dresser. But when I was a daycare teacher, I used to change the toddlers standing up. It's a skill I think every parent should know. So much easier!

i would love to learn how to do this.  The one time I tried this dd peed on the floor. I was way too slow.

Changing table or the changing pad attached to her diaper bag if we're out. 

LadyXaverian

I change her on her changing table. It's a tight fit, but we're still using it for now.

misskris927

Floor, couch, bed and after a bath we use her changing table.

swimiz500

On the floor. We always have though, we never had a changing table.

becasmeca

On our bed; we have never used a changing table! After I make our bed for the day I lay out a quilt and set up my diaper station! It just dawned on me that will be one more thing I will miss seeing or setting up when we start potty training.

. I wish I could change my son laying down!! We've been changing him standing up since about 7 months. Even got rid of the changing pad.

When we're at home, changing table every time. He's so much more cooperative.

adge629

She either gets changed on the couch or on the bed. I don't do the floor since we have hardwood and she will just kick me and slide away.

kwitt22

It's easier on my back and knees to change her on her changing table so I use it for every diaper change. If I do it on the couch or the bed it kills my back for some reason. Please she is easier to control on the changing table!

lisamoe

I've been changing DS on the floor (on a blanket) since 6 months.  He is a roller and a squirmer.  We had too many close calls.
