What do you do when they outgrow the changing table?

SeaStar430 · November 2010

I know this sounds like a stupid question, but do you change them on the floor? Where do you stash wipes and diapers? Allie is outgrowing her table and I'm thinking of replacing it with a bookshelf.

My mom never used a changing table and just used her bed. She said it saved her back from doing it on the floor.

We use the floor. We have a little basket that we keep diapers, wipes and other odds and ins. I have used our changing table 5 times max.

potty train?

We keep DD's diapers and wipes in a drawer of her dresser and change her on the floor or on her bed (floor bed). We've been doing it that way for months because she didn't care for the changing table.

If I can get her potty trained before she's 1 you'll all buy my book. Wink

I have no idea...I don't want to do it on the floor since it will kill my back. I think we'll just use the changing table as long as possible. I'll just have him bend his legs so they're not hanging off.

I guess we'll have to use the floor and I'll have to sit on DS to keep him from running away:) DS is tall for his age and he still fits on the changing table fine. I plan to use it for as long as possible.

We are still using ours. I plan to use it until Kate is potty trained.

I still use ours for every diaper change (changing pad on top of her dresser, not an actual changing table). If I change her anywhere else it's a huge struggle, but she lays nicely for me on her changing table.

Ive just been using the bed. I'll put an old receiving blanket down, with everything I need laid out on it, the diapers, wipes, cream, powder, etc and then at night after his last change I just put it all back into his cubby thing.

Honest question: how does your LO outgrow a changing table? What is your like, OP?

lclark79 · November 2010

We still use it for every change.

By "outgrow", do you mean her legs hang off? DD's legs hang off, but I don't really consider it a problem. We still use ours, because if I change her on the floor, i have to like practically sit on her to keep her from rolling away. She lays much more calmly when she's on the changing table.
