Buh-bye Changing Table

My daughter is within a few pounds of being too heavy for my changing table. I’m so sad that I won’t be able to use it anymore. It has made life (and saved my back) so much easier during diaper changes. It’s especially helpful for the middle of the night diaper changes. I’ve been brainstorming what to do with it, because I’d hate to just store it in the garage or something. I now officially having a changing table for a nightstand! And I kind of love it! It holds so much more stuff, and I can even put my breakable decor on it and not have to worry about my daughter reaching them. I’ve discovered it’s really not that hard to put her changing pad on my bed when I change her diaper, even overnight. Her hanging diaper caddy fits perfectly next to the bed, so that’s even better! My nightstand has now become the air bear(air purifier) stand. I think it has worked out quite nicely!

Nice setup! This is a great idea to repurpose a changing table. I have one and haven’t even used it yet :woman_facepalming:

Thanks! I know a changing table isn’t a necessity, but it was definitely nice while it lasted! I almost didn’t even get one, but my aunt insisted on getting me one

It’s day 2 of this setup, and it’s worked out perfectly. I’ve been planning what to do with the changing table for the last couple weeks. It just took me awhile to actually move it because I always make plans to rearrange my room in the middle of the night :joy:

For sure! I live that it gives me a place to store all the diapers and wipes too

I think I have the same one but in white, and I bought little baskets to organize the diapers and wipes as well. Good set up :smiling_face:

You would think they would make changing tables to accommodate babies up until they’re at the age of being potty trained, which could be up to 3 or 4 years old for some from what I’ve been reading. I think they should make them up to 50 pounds just to be safe so we don’t have to worry about our child falling through
