I didn’t know how bad I actually needed these…
These are top changing table must-haves every new parent needs! This post will cover essential items for your changing table, including must haves like diaper pails, diaper caddies, wipe dispenser and diaper rash cream. Ensure your changing table is fully equipped with these key essentials to make diaper changes smooth and stress-free. Explore my list of changing table must haves to create a functional and stylish nursery setup!
During our first week with our son, my husband and I felt completely overwhelmed by diaper changes. We were unprepared and scrambling to get things in order. The hospital had never had us change his diaper, so we were caught off guard. With cream not within reach, and pee and poop getting all over everything, it was a chaotic scene. New and old clothes were stained, and honestly, I was a mess, hormones were running wild too!
These top 5 are MUST haves if you want to say pee and poop free and have things in order all while looking like a stylish mom who isn’t a ball of anxiety!
1: Changing table
Having an adorable changing table will make the task not so difficult. The new changing tables are rubber and great for wiping right off but they are so cold on babies back! I found this changing basket that is so sweet for boy or girl, and has a liner that is easy to wipe messes off of and you can take the liner off and throw it right in the washing machine! Its definitely a must have for any newborn parent.
2: Diaper Pail
At the beginning of our journey I was determined not to buy EVERYTHING… However, I wish I wouldn’t have skipped out on this must have diaper pail. This diaper pail has been so discrete in sight and smell and is perfect for tossing the diaper away and not worrying about it later! I can fit so many diapers in here before we have to switch out the liner!
3: Diaper Caddy
As a mama, I can tell you that a diaper caddy is an absolute game-changer for the nursery! It’s an essential addition to your changing table setup, making those diaper changes so much easier. I remember feeling overwhelmed at first, but having a well-organized diaper caddy truly helped. It keeps all my must-have essentials like diapers, wipes, and creams right where I need them. No more searching for missing items during those critical moments! With a good diaper caddy, your changing table becomes a functional, stress-free space. Trust me, it’s a vital tool that will make your nursery both practical and welcoming.
4: Rash Cream
This one speaks for itself. Along with this pipette rash cream, I would use Aquaphor and mix in my breastmlik. This paste does WONDERS for an irritated bum! To extract my breast milk, I use a Momcozy pump and mix equal parts breastmilk to Aquaphor and rash cream! Mix it up and you have yourself a must have magic paste!
5: Wipe Dispenser
This last must have is essential! A wipe dispenser helped me so much when my husband went back to work and wasn’t there for every change. Convenience: It provides easy access to wipes, making diaper changes quicker and smoother. Hygiene: Keeps wipes clean and sanitary, reducing the risk of contamination. Organization: Helps keep wipes neatly stored and prevents them from drying out or getting misplaced. One Handed Use: Allows you to grab a wipe with one hand while holding your baby with the other, making diaper changes more efficient.
There you have it! In my opinion, that is the basics for all you need for a successful diaper change! As a mama, I can tell you that having these items; a changing basket, diaper pail, diaper caddy, rash cream, and a wipe dispenser on hand and it makes all the difference. The changing basket keeps everything you need in one place, while the diaper pail makes disposing of used diapers quick and clean. The diaper caddy is a lifesaver for organizing all your must have items so you can grab them in a flash. Rash cream is a must for keeping your baby’s delicate skin happy, and a wipe dispenser ensures you have wipes ready to go without any fuss. Together, these essentials create a smooth, efficient changing area that makes diaper duty so much easier for busy parents. If you have any questions please feel free to email me!
