Changing diapers

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.

Two things I am curious about! Not a problem, just intrigued to see what others are doing

1) My nearly 7 month old still can’t roll! She has been sitting unassisted for a while now but still has 0 interest in rolling during the day. At night I can see her on the monitor desperately trying to get onto her side but can’t yet.
How old was everyone’s else’s when they started rolling?

2) when did people start dropping night feeds? My formula fed daughter has 1 bottle in the night at around 1! Not sure when I should think about dropping this? She wakes another 2-4 times in the night but just for the dummy.

silly question…

How do you guys break the attachment to smaller clothes your baby can’t fit anymore and get rid of them? I’m cleaning out my daughters drawers today and feel my heart hurting with each piece I take out 😩

Snoring partner

My partner snores. It’s so loud I can hear from another room. I normally sleep with ear plugs when I can’t take anymore but that won’t be possible when baby is here. Has anyone else experienced this? Did your partner see a doctor? What worked for you? It’s currently 5:30 and I’ve been woken by it 6 times. I feel insane.

Night feeds 15 weeks old formula fed

Hi everyone 😊

Just wondering what others do about night feeds…

My baby is 15 weeks old and formula fed. She’s gaining weight, but not loads, so I’m a bit unsure what’s best.

If she has a bottle around 9pm, would you usually wake your baby in the night for another feed, or just let them sleep until they wake up?

Would love to hear what worked for you and your babies at this age! 💛

How are you setting boundaries with your 14 month old?

I have no idea how to set boundaries with my 14 month old and basically give in always. She screams and cries when she wants things she can't have and I just get so overstimulated and cannot handle it so give in. She's a hair puller and I've even given in on that too and just let her rip and break my hair.

Mum in need of help here 😭
