Diapers Diapers and More

As a new mom, I feel like I have spent countless hours changing diapers, ALREADY! So today, I wanted to write a few things I have learned as necessities to changing diapers, and feature my sons changing table, which actually turned out pretty cute if I do say so myself!

 

I absolutely love my changing pad. Thanks to Iviebaby! @iviebaby. I found something to go with my theme and couldn’t resist!! I bought my changing table from a friend and the matching bins at Target. They fit perfectly. I put diapers, wipes, and burp rags in the bins. On my shelf I have some creams, diaper cream, toys, thermometer, tylenol, pacifiers, wipes. And of course I bought the jars at Target too. and pardon the overflowing trash… (that’s real life right??)

When Changing Diaper

• Put new diaper underneath
• Lift baby legs
• Cover (if you have a boy)
• Wipe front to back
• Have a diaper pail close by (empty regularly)

Necessities at Changing Table

• Changing pad
• Extra pad on top of changing pad (helps when things get messy)
• Diapers
• Easy access wipes (one-handed)
• Diaper cream (I like using coconut oil or lanolin)
• Toy to distract baby
• Extra trash can

Those first couple weeks are intense! Warnings to new moms, you probably will get peed, on pooped on, and feel like that is all you are doing. It gets better, well a little bit. But then its gets smellier… and we won’t go into blowouts… Good luck everyone!
