When it comes to choosing a changing table, the question is what type to choose. As mentioned above, there are several types available, and the choice depends on many different factors. Where will the changing table be used? How much space do you have? And do you want to be able to store items like diapers and similar on/in the changing table? Read more →
Additionally, there are many different things to consider when setting up your changing area. It is worth considering whether you want running water – and if so, whether you have space for a dedicated changing table or if you should choose a wall-mounted changing table. Furthermore, there are various items you will need at the changing area – e.g. washbasins, changing pads, a changing board, etc.
Perhaps you already have a shelf or a dresser and just want a changing board? In that case, you can use your current shelf as a changing area. This is both a smart and incredibly cost-effective solution.
Choosing a changing table – What should you consider?
When selecting a space for the changing table, there are many things to consider. It is important how much space you have available. Additionally, you should also consider various factors – e.g. whether you want water nearby or if you choose to have a jug of water and a washbasin by the changing table.
Next, the question is which type of changing table you should choose. It largely depends on personal taste – and not least how much space you have. A wall-mounted changing table is perfect if you don't have much space, while you might want a larger changing table if you have the room for it.
This means that there are many things to take into account when choosing which changing table to buy. It is therefore important to look at the dimensions of the individual changing tables – and of course also to find a changing table that suits your taste.
Safety
When you are changing the little one, there are many things that need to be done at the same time. Thus, it may be that you need to take your eyes off the little one for a brief moment while you grab water, diapers, or washcloths. In that situation, it is always recommended that you keep a hand on the baby's stomach – simply to ensure that the baby does not move and fall off the changing table.
Alternatively, you can choose to buy a changing belt / a changing vest that will ensure that the baby cannot move away from the changing pad and thus fall down.
Set up the changing area
In addition to a changing table, there are also some other items that are needed. You should have a changing pad that makes it nice, soft, and comfortable for the baby to be changed. Therefore, you should find a changing pad that is primarily soft and of good quality – it should also match the decor in and around the changing area, and last but not least, the changing pad should ideally provide safety in the form of raised edges to ensure that the baby cannot roll off the changing pad and changing table.
When changing, a good tip is to have the changing pad, but on top of it, place a hand towel and then a cloth diaper. At the top. The cloth diaper is changed at every diaper change, while the towel is changed if the child, for example, wets through or if there is otherwise a need.
This way, you ensure that your changing area – and thus your changing table – is always kept nice and clean.
Everything within reach
In order to ensure that you do not have to leave the changing area during the changing process, it is a good idea to have all the accessories placed on or near the changing table. This way, you can be sure that you never have to take your eyes off the little one while he/she is on the changing table.
When changing, warm/lukewarm water is needed to wash the baby – and if you are not in the fortunate situation of having space to set up the changing area in the bathroom or kitchen, it can be a problem to have running water. In that case, it becomes relevant to have a jug of water and a washing basin (e.g., a head-and-tail basin that ensures there is water for “both ends”) right at hand, so you can ensure you have water for the changing.
Additionally, it would be advisable to have diapers, washcloths, a diaper pail with accompanying diaper bags, soft towels, and perhaps a piece of toy or a baby mobile to entertain the baby during the changing.
