Wardrobe or drawers for babies clothes ?
Due in November, FTM, I was wondering what’s better to keep babies clothes in, a hanging wardrobe or a set of drawers with a changing table on top?
Some people have said a changing table isn’t needed and just to get a mat and can change them anywhere, but I will be having a C section so won’t be able to bend a lot. Kind of on a budget so I preferably want to get either a wardrobe or a set of drawers with a changing table. What’s more convenient in your guys’ experiences? Thanks :)

Drawers and I agree that changing tables are probably not needed for long.
i would just really think about what seems more convenient for yourself. for me i have drawers for both my kids and with my newborn i don’t even fold anything.
i really like having a designated change station bc personally i found it easier to keep track of diapers and wipes when everything was in one place (and honestly once they aren’t newborns anymore i found it easier to change them on a study change pad) i have a 6 drawer dresser from ikea that works really well and i just had to make sure it fit the change pad i bought (i highly recommend the keekaroo, they’re pricey but i found one for 50$ on marketplace and it’s been worth it to me as it’s super easy to disinfect and it’s quite durable)
I change him on drawers but his clothes are hung on on the rod in his closet w hangers, the drawers contain his pants and socks and singlets. All onesies, shirts and jackets are hung up. It keeps them neater and I can flick through them without messing it up
I have a little rail that you could easily move around & use that every day. When he was little little I used the drawers for vests/babygrows & now they are used for pjs & muslins :) im due another baby in october & will probs do the same. I have changing mats & nappy caddys everywhere….one in our room for the night, one in the nursery & one downstairs. They are easy to move but you can also get them so cheap now :)
Drawers. We changed on top of the drawers but it was the right height.
I have ikea drawers and I put my changing mat on top with all her stuff underneath. A changing table seems pointless to me. The ikea draws will be used for a long time
