Over the next year or so you are going to be spending a lot of time at the changing table. I am not sure just how many hours it would account to if I added up all of the diaper changing I have done for my 3 babies and now a 4th, but I know it would be A LOT. And yes, stinky diapers are gross, but it can also be sweet time to look into your baby’s eyes, sing songs with them, talk about parts of the face and play tickle games like This Little Piggy. Since you will be using your table so often, make sure your changing table is well prepped and comfortable. I prefer to keep diapers, spare wipes, rash cream, first aid and grooming items all in the top drawer. I keep the wipe warmer on the table next to the changing pad. Another tip is to buy a dresser that can be used as a changing table, but then becomes a dresser for the baby after.
Here is a peek into my changing table must haves.

Finally, if you are thinking you need to run out to the store to get these items, think again.

This has hands down been one of my biggest time savers since I discovered this site about 4 years ago. Not only do your items arrive the next day, the site will also keep your purchases organized in their reorder section where you can quickly click on all the items you need to restock regularly. It will do the same with house cleaning and pet supplies as well. Really, it is amazing! And the big boxes that come to the house? Well, my boys love to make forts out of them. So, yes, everyone really does win! xx
