Changing Table Essentials

There was a post a few months back that I thought I had saved somewhere, but can't find it. We're working on loose ends in the nursery and I want to make sure that I have our diaper changing area stocked with all the essentials.

I'm not coming up with much on my own, so what do you have in easy reach?

Thanks!

    diaper rash cream and wipes are really the only thing that I really use.  Mine has shelves below and I also keep bathing items and receiving blankets there.  I go through the receiving blankets waaay more than I thought.

    diapers, wipes, diaper rash ointment, alcohol wipes for cord care (if that's what you're instructed to do), nail clippers, infant tylenol, hand sanitizer, thermometer, extra changing pad covers (or some of the ugly or too small receiving blankets or hooded towels that everyone gets).

    In addition, we always had washcloths to cover the penis during diaper changes (essential for a boy, but I hear pretty handy for a girl too) and extra sleepers or whatever they're wearing in case of an accident on the clothes during a change. Currently we also keep socks there, baby q-tips, other meds, toothbrush and toothpaste, pacis, and other smaller things

    I just cleared ours off of the stuff that's been sitting there since he was born and never gets touched - you could easily do just wipes on the table, then somewhere else a little basket or something of clippers, a comb/brush if you need one and diaper cream(be careful which you use with cloth) plus the other stuff like infant tylenol.

    Thermometer, boogie sucker (you'll get one at the hospital), and saline drops are convienent to have on the changer because it's easier to do those things while they are elevAted and lying down. In a few months, toys will come in handy, too.

    I agree with all of the above but would like to add that its been great having the big stash of gerber prefolds we use as burp cloths within arms reach near the changing area too.  They've been great for unexpected spits ups or messes at the table.

    My stock:

    Diapers, wipes, butt paste, infant tylenol, lotion, and a keychain maraca LOL.  

    Under the changer I have burp clothes, thermometer (both forehead and rectal), vaseline (for rectal therm), alcohol wipes (cord stump and cleaning rectal therm LOL) and extra changing pads - I highly suggest THESE so you won't have to change after every spit up or small leak.
