how many changing pad covers do you have?

mpstochlinski8 · September 2011

I have 4 for the changing table for my twins, just curious if you ladies think that is enough? I also have 4 crib sheets but am planning on at least 2 more sheets. Is the changing table cover something that gets changed daily or just maybe when you do the sheets every couple of days?

TIA

I have 2 changing pad covers and that is plenty for us. We do the wash every few days, and change it every few days (or sooner if it gets any poop/pee on it)

I have like 10 crib sheets, but that is way more then we needed. The first few weeks I was changing the sheets a lot (spit up, blow outs, leaks, etc) but they dont do any of that as much so they get changed every few days also.

I've got two changing pad covers, and so far only two sets of sheets - but for some reason I have on my registry (that I'm now using as a "be sure to buy" list) something like 16 sheets. I think I'm going to aim for at least 3 sheets per crib, plus two sets of sheet savers per crib. I suspect that will be enough, and the combination should be such that even in an emergency I'll have SOMETHING to use.

2. I keep a prefold on it as well to keep it clean. I've only had to change it once from a poop accident (I swap out the prefold daily. We also keep a recieving blanket in the one on the pack and play downstairs to keep it clean)

Just one! And I have about six "sheet savers" that I just switch out to keep it clean. I also use sheet savers on the sheets so I only change sheets about once every 2 weeks.

We have two changing tables at home that require covers, and we have four covers, which is definitely sufficient. We also used these disposable pads on top of the covers when they were little b/c they spit up a lot, especially when we laid them down to change diapers. This helped reduce laundry.

For crib sheets, we only own two crib sheets total and four crib sheet savers, which has also been more than sufficient.

We have one cover and several of the Carter's Keep Me Dry quilted pads as a liner. I've also used a receiving blanket as a liner.

We have 6 total crib sheets. For the first several months we used the Ultimate Crib Sheets but then DS figured out how to take them off (seriously...) so we had to get more sheets.

We have four change pad covers and it's more than enough, we just bought a few extra ones because we liked the colours

We have 3 changing pad covers and that's plenty. When they were really little, we used waterproof pads from BRU on top of the cover because they had lots of accidents/spit-up. Now, we change the cover a couple times a week (or when it needs it more often) and almost always have at least one clean cover in the drawer. The couple of times where we've run out, I've just put a receiving blanket on the pad until the laundry is done.

Another MoM gave me the tip that you can use the disposable puppy pads over the changing table (they are much cheaper than the kind they make for babies and are basically the same thing). They have been a great thing to have as one of out boys is a big pee-er during changes and even if you try to cover him he still gets the pad a few times a day. I would hate to have to wash covers that often!

I have one.

when the babies were really little and their poop was runnier we just put a clothe diaper (which we had 100 of since we used them as burp cloths) on the changing pad so that if anything got on the pad we could just wash the cloth dipe instead of stripping the pad and washing it.

In the 8 months my kids have been on this Earth I've only had to strip the changing pad three times.

We have 2 changing pad covers, and 3 sets of crib sheets. We also have 1 set of crib sheet savers, which were awesome for the beginning!

At the beginning, we did a lot of laundry (my mom would do it for me when she visited), so 2 changing pad covers was fine (even with the boy accidents). Now they get swapped once a wk.

thanks ladies! I guess I'm doing fine then

This 100%. You do not need more than 2 changing pad covers, and 4 sheets is plenty too.

We only have two, but we're changing 3 babies, so I'm thinking of getting at least one or two more. As for crib sheets, we have two per crib ( =6). They're all sleeping in the same crib for now, so once one gets dirty, we just move on and use the next crib until their laundry gets done again - which so far, is every other day.

I only had 2 changing pad covers and I would take a cloth diaper and lay that on top in case things got messy I didn't have to change the whole thing, just toss the cloth diaper in the wash and move on.
