Chances are, changing dirty diapers won't be on your list of favorite things to do as a new parent. But since you have to do it, make sure you do it right. Properly set up a table for changing diapers and changing diapers, and this job will seem less "dirty" to you.
Here are some tips that can help you prepare properly for this pregnancy.
1. Carefully choose the place where you place the changing table
Here's the first thing on the to-do list: carefully choose the place to place the changing table. Most parents choose to put the changing table in the baby's room. Indeed, this is a central location where you will spend a lot of time and it is one of the most convenient, considering that you will change the diapers as soon as the baby wakes up in the morning and in the evening, before you put him to bed.
However, if you have a house with two floors, it is worth considering setting up a table for changing diapers on the ground floor, not just upstairs, in the child's room. This will help you get rid of the many trips to the baby's room to change each diaper.
2. Choose the furniture carefully
We recommend you to invest in a changing table. It is provided with drawers in which you can store all kinds of things you need even when changing the baby. The changing table is a combo between a well-organized cabinet and a table suitable for changing the baby.
If you are looking for a second location for the changing table, you can choose a changing mat that can be used on any table, sofa, bed or other flat surface.
3. Make sure you have all the supplies at hand
Again, if you opt for a changing table, it will be easy to comply with this requirement. Changing diapers is an action that requires a little skill and can easily become dirty. That's why it's essential to have all the things you might need at hand for every change. Do not place the baby on the changing table until you have made sure that you have all the necessary things for changing diapers at hand.
Start with these changing table essentials:
- baby diapers: the baby's current size + a larger size
- wipes
- trash can for dirty diapers
- protective cover
- a toy to distract the baby if necessary
- hand sanitizer
- lotion
- hair brush and comb
- extra pacifiers
- nasal aspirator and saline spray
- scissors for the baby's nails
- change of clothes
4. Always stay organized
It is not at all pleasant to realize at 2 o'clock in the morning that you have no more diapers for the baby. Seriously, you really have to try to be very organized when it comes to the changing table. Make sure you have a good organization system and that you know where everything is. If you stay organized, it will be easier for you to successfully complete each session of changing your little one's diapers.
For this, use baskets, shelves, chests of drawers - anything that helps you keep things in order. Set up the diaper changing area with easy-to-access storage solutions - for diapers, napkins, lotions, cream, etc.
