Hi all! My baby is almost 10 months old. He is growing so much and I am struggling to figure out how to change his diaper these days. The changing table we have is starting to be too small and he doesn’t fit in it as well as he used to. I’m curious how others are changing their 9-10 month olds. I know that some have suggested to just change him on the bed, but it hurts my back to bend down so low like that. I’m just wondering what others are doing as far as a place to change their babies. I’m even open to certain brands of changing tables that you recommend. Thank you!

We bought a dresser that doubles as a changing table and use the Jool changing pad. My twins are around 29 inches and the Jool pad is still working. We’ll probably need to extend the pad in some way in a few months but probably still keep our station on the dresser.

A mat on the floor! Just like the mat that comes with your diaper bag usually. My back is absolutely killing me these days she’s 21 lbs so I save both of us the hassle and just change her on the floor with a mat.

I just sit on the floor with my back against furniture or wherever is easiest at the time

We still change her on a pad on top of the dresser. This is the only option as she’s an escape artist!

Literally do it straight on the couch, floor or bed.

I sit on the bed with him in front of me and change him

I put the diaper mat on the floor as soon as he started to roll. I just sit on the floor in the nursery to change him

I've got a table set up with a waterproof mat on it, my pregnancy pillow to stop him rolling and then I lay a couple of towels over the top and change them out as and when they get dirty or at the end of the week whichever comes first. It works for us as its all stuff we had around the house anyways, it's out the way of the dog otherwise I'd just change him on the floor, and because it's an old fold out table it's got a little cupboard in the middle which I fill with spare nappies, wipes and a couple of outfits etc so never run out of anything either.

I had to have the peanut changing pad. Most people said it was not worth it, but my goodness i think it's worth every penny! I had it on the changing table but as things are ever changing I find it's easier to bring into the room we are in most often and sooo good for not getting pooh on anything.
