Still Using the Changing Table?

Ms.Jade

We do for every single change when we're at home. It's DH's great grandmother's dresser that he inherited and we slapped a changing pad on top. Our house is small and it's no problem to walk her into her room and change her. I had a friend over recently and she seemed surprised that we still use our changing table. Do you still use yours?

Absolutely! I use it to change him, dress him, and give him sponge baths. It also serves as storage for diapers, wipes, etc.

Yes. It's so much easier on the back! We change him in the morning and night there. During the day, we do it downstairs on the floor.

yup. for every change. tis easy enough as we live in an appartment. If we had 2 floors then I wld still have his change table upstairs in his room - I need the exercise!

We use it for every change at home.

We do not. With my DD we were still using it at this point but for DS it just doesn't seem to work. We haven't used either kids' in probably 6 months +. 

Our house is 2 stories and most of the diaper changes happen downstairs, not in their bedrooms. There is nowhere for a changing table downstairs so we just don't use one. The floor is our place of preference.

Yes. Every time. We also use a changing pad on a dresser. It's easier for me and it helps keep him from escaping.

We still use it for every diaper change. For us, it gives him limited mobility. Changes anywhere else result in him trying to crawl away.

Yup!  Pretty much every time we do a change at home (one floor, so it's simple) or at my parents' house.  At the ILs' we do it on the floor, and it actually worked really well when we were last there at Christmas.  I put down the change pad from the diaper bag and she walks over and sits herself down on it, ready to go.  We said we'd start doing it on the floor at home, too, but then she stopped fussing so much on the change table.

Yep. I use it for 90 percent of diaper changes and for changing his clothes.

We've never changed him on it, not once. Thankfully it's a dresser so it wasn't a complete waste of money though he certainty doesn't need 2 dressers. Our house is 2 levels and were only upstairs to sleep. We bedshared until he was over a year old so he never used the changing table or the crib. We never used his room, period. We changed him on the couch, floor, or bed.

L's changing table is currently in the basement where we are living, so whenever we happen to be down there, we will change her there. Otherwise, we are upstairs and change her on my old twin bed... which has somehow become the dog's favorite place to lay down.

No matter where we change her, she fights us.. so the changing table is really just helpful for my back. She flips herself over and tries to stand up during every diaper change it's quite lovely lol

This is us.

Same!

Yes, we still use her changing table. Like you it is a dresser with a changing pad on it. We still use it to dress her and change her.

We use ours every time we are at home for diaper changes.
