We have a changing table from mamas & papas & it has been a lifesaver after my C-section. We use it all the time but we have noticed that now our little boy is 6 months, he is looking a little big for it.
How long has everyone else used their changing tables for? This is just the one that sits atop the chest of drawers so it can just be removed.
After that did you just change your babies on the mat on the floor? Found something else? I have slight mobility issues at the moment due to some injuries that I am getting physio for, so getting down & up off the floor can be hard at times.
I don't like to change him in our bed (we've had a few pee accidents!) but at the same time, I feel like changing him on the floor if he wakes during the night will wake him up more.

I stopped using our changing table at around 3 months with both kids. Now just have a fold up mat downstairs and do it on the floor. And now they are 10 month and 2 years (eldest is fully potty trained tho) we just get dressed in a bedroom after a bath ready for bed or wherever they stay still too lol

My daughter is 2.5yo now and potty trained but up until recently I still changed her nappy on the changing table for ease of access and thankfully she’s never been a wriggler so it works well for us!

You could just get a fold up mat and do it on the sofa or bed so you aren’t going down all the way to the floor? X

Mine’s still on his at 19 months 🥲 he associates it with getting dressed etc so just kept it for consistency. He’s pretty big for it but whatever works to keep the peace, if he was on the floor he’d just run x

We just always did it anywhere with a mat or blanket i learned 70.2 so it on my lap

Never used a changing table just a mat. If I’m changing baby in bed I pop a blanket down just incase. Downstairs it’s either floor or sofa x

We still use it at almost 3yo 😂 his legs just dangle off the edge

We used changing mat on the bed or a placed a doggy pad. We got a box from Costco

I’ve always used a puppy pad on the floor or bed x

Mine's a little bit of a shorty, but she turned 2 in March and we're still using the changing table.
Is using the bed comfortable, other than pee accidents? You could get pee pads (they make big reusable ones for nighttime accidents)
