Pregnant after a Loss

Changing table or no??

Re: Changing table or no??

  • We will barely have any room in our condo for a crib let alone for a changing table.  If we had the house we plan on buying if and when the condo sells, then I would consider it.  right now it is a no... plus my sister who had 3 kids said she barely used hers.

  • I am not getting one. I was talking to one of my friends who had a baby in march and she got the crib with the changing table attatched to it and she said she hates it.  She only really used it when the baby was 0-3 months.

  • No, the baby's room is small and I'd rather have something that they'll be able to use as they get older. So I'll just put the pad on a dresser
  • We are going with a low and dresser and will use the top as a changing table. 
  • We used our changing table with DS up until he was 2 and a half!  We have a cheapie from Wal Mart but it looks cute and does the trick!
  • We're doing a low dresser with a changing pad on top.  That way when we don't have need for the changing aspect of it, its still a useful piece of furniture.

  • The furniture we bought comes with a dresser that has a changing table on it. When she gets older we bought the hutch that goes on top of the dresser.
  • nope, just a pad on the dresser.  I don't see the need to invest in a piece of furniture that only has one, short-term function.
  • We decided not to go that route.  We got a full size dresser and will use a changing pad on top of it while we need it, then the dresser can grow with him!
  • we are getting one.  her room is really big, so we have room.  and i think we are getting a tall dresser, not a short one.  i also want room to put baskets with diapers, etc... so they will be on the shelves on the changing table.

  • The nursery is pretty small, so we decided not to get a changing table.  We got a tall chest of drawers and plan on using the diaper changing station on the pack-n-play.
  • Probably not - hoping to use the PNP for that instead, or maybe a low dresser.
  • We went with a long dresser and have the changing pad on top of it, we figured we would rather spend more money on a piece of furntiure that the babies could actually use when they are older too.

  • I had one with my dd, and never ever used it, it was a total waste, since I always changed her on the floor.  Eight years later, with ds, I decided to do a low dresser with a changing pad on top, and we used it ALL the time for him.  Now that he's two, I rarely use it anymore, wo do a lot of on the floor changes, but I am keeping it up for the new baby.
  • I'm getting a changing table/dresser combo.  I can see myself being one that changes my kid whereever but if that's the case, it's not a waste because I have the dresser.  :)  I just like it because it's part of the set.
