We have a pack 'n play with the changing station on the main level of the house also stocked with all the diaper changing necessities. We have never changed a diaper anywhere in the house beside either changing station. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/keep-changing-table-in-our-room-for-first-weeks#post-1441145 Fri, 21 Feb 2014 14:46:39 +0000 fussygal 1441145@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So I think we'll definitely keep it in our room for the first little bit! I'm glad the easy option is what will work best anyway. Love when that happens :)</p> <p>@PinkElephant: I like the idea of keeping everything in a basket so we can move it around if needed! </p> <p>@Anagram: I think we'll be getting a HEMNES on our next trip to IKEA for her room. We almost got one last time but I chickened out and I've had no luck finding a 2nd hand one that we can repaint. All of the old dressers around here are either so.friggin.ugly or are too low (and I'm pretty tall). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/keep-changing-table-in-our-room-for-first-weeks#post-1440937 Fri, 21 Feb 2014 13:38:20 +0000 Bookish 1440937@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It's still in our room and she's 7 months! We just kept changing her on the PnP changer. Works well, and when she out grows it (SOON), we're just going to start changing her on the floor </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/keep-changing-table-in-our-room-for-first-weeks#post-1440914 Fri, 21 Feb 2014 13:31:59 +0000 Anagram 1440914@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We had the changing pad and the caddy with wipes/diapers on our dresser until 6 months when we moved her to her room (and the changing station went with her).</p> <p>The Ikea HEMNES dressers are the perfect height for changing pads! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/keep-changing-table-in-our-room-for-first-weeks#post-1440906 Fri, 21 Feb 2014 13:29:42 +0000 Mommy Finger 1440906@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The changing table was in our main room as we lived in a 1br condo so it wasn't far to change him in the middle of the night. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/keep-changing-table-in-our-room-for-first-weeks#post-1439757 Fri, 21 Feb 2014 08:02:34 +0000 PinkElephant 1439757@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We kept a changing pad on our dresser for as long as she was in the Moses basket in our room. Diapers/wipes/creams were in a basket we could move around, along with one of those cotton covered waterproof pads for impromptu sofa changes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/keep-changing-table-in-our-room-for-first-weeks#post-1439736 Fri, 21 Feb 2014 07:50:22 +0000 Dandelion 1439736@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our pnp has a changing table attachment, and he'll be sleeping in there while he's in our room, so that'll be the set up for us for that.</p> <p>I'm actually not sure what I'll do once we move and he's got his own room, because we don't have any other sort of changing table. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/keep-changing-table-in-our-room-for-first-weeks#post-1439731 Fri, 21 Feb 2014 07:45:17 +0000 looch 1439731@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our changing table was always in the larger bathroom. We lived in an apartment at that time, it was all on one floor. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/keep-changing-table-in-our-room-for-first-weeks#post-1439730 Fri, 21 Feb 2014 07:44:26 +0000 mediagirl 1439730@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our changing table was always in the nursery. M was in our room for her first 3 months of life, though. We just took her into the nursery to change her. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/keep-changing-table-in-our-room-for-first-weeks#post-1439729 Fri, 21 Feb 2014 07:43:05 +0000 Adira 1439729@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have a changing station setup in the bathroom next to our bedroom (on the washer), so we used that. It was only a few extra steps and very convenient. We would've had it in our room if we didn't already have a convenient place for it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/keep-changing-table-in-our-room-for-first-weeks#post-1439639 Fri, 21 Feb 2014 03:11:35 +0000 MrsStar 1439639@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yup we had it in our room on my side of the bed so I only had to move 2 steps to change her. I didn't want to risk getting pee/poop on our bed. It made it so much easier when I was half asleep! We kept it in there until we moved lo to her own room next door at 7 months. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/keep-changing-table-in-our-room-for-first-weeks#post-1439604 Fri, 21 Feb 2014 01:20:35 +0000 shopaholic 1439604@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>TBH, I think we spent most of the nights out on the couch the first few weeks, so we'd change her in her room (we live in a single story). Our room is next to hers so it's easy just to change in her room anytime. But I say, do whatever is easier for you! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/keep-changing-table-in-our-room-for-first-weeks#post-1439561 Fri, 21 Feb 2014 00:29:35 +0000 Mrs. High Heels 1439561@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@fussygal: we kept the changing table in our room until we moved DS out to his own room around 5 weeks. we didn't want to risk him peeing all over our bed (which actually happened once or twice). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/keep-changing-table-in-our-room-for-first-weeks#post-1439443 Thu, 20 Feb 2014 23:11:57 +0000 Weagle 1439443@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We just changed her on the bed. Much easier than setting up a separate space for her. Plus, I never had to get out of bed. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/keep-changing-table-in-our-room-for-first-weeks#post-1439438 Thu, 20 Feb 2014 23:08:42 +0000 bhbee 1439438@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our changing table is still in our bedroom and LO is 2! It's a dresser with a pad. She just has a small room and it made more sense but it's also convenient. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/keep-changing-table-in-our-room-for-first-weeks#post-1439428 Thu, 20 Feb 2014 23:04:35 +0000 mrskc 1439428@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We changed him in the nursery in the middle of the night but the room was right next to ours and it was just steps outside our doorway so no big deal. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/keep-changing-table-in-our-room-for-first-weeks#post-1439394 Thu, 20 Feb 2014 22:52:22 +0000 JennyD 1439394@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Way easier. Dooooo it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/keep-changing-table-in-our-room-for-first-weeks#post-1439317 Thu, 20 Feb 2014 22:25:35 +0000 Zbug 1439317@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes! We moved it in our room for maybe weeks 2-4 and wish we had done so the first week as well. She's still in our room, but we moved the changing area once she started waking up less at night (and not pooping as much at night!). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/keep-changing-table-in-our-room-for-first-weeks#post-1439310 Thu, 20 Feb 2014 22:22:12 +0000 Beehive 1439310@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We didn't move LO's changing station to our room, but we changed him on a bath towel on our bed, and had a basket with a few diapers and his wipes in our room. It was nice not to have to leave our room at night. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/keep-changing-table-in-our-room-for-first-weeks#post-1439309 Thu, 20 Feb 2014 22:21:53 +0000 Grace 1439309@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Well, we had a change table set up in her room, and moved it downstairs on the first night home since I was nursing/hanging out in the living room for the first while. It's still down here (5.5 months later). I'd put a change station wherever you are going to be nursing/feeding. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/keep-changing-table-in-our-room-for-first-weeks#post-1439307 Thu, 20 Feb 2014 22:21:18 +0000 Foodnerd81 1439307@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We did. We had our moms stay in the nursery and Lo was in our room so it was easier for the first few weeks. Then we moved it to her room when she started sleeping in there I think. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/keep-changing-table-in-our-room-for-first-weeks#post-1439304 Thu, 20 Feb 2014 22:19:18 +0000 fussygal 1439304@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If LO slept in your room for the first few weeks/months did you do night changes in your bedroom or elsewhere? I'm thinking if we leave a lamp on it won't disturb the other (hopefully) sleeping adult? </p> <p>I've been trying to find a long and low dresser that we can use as a changing table in DDs room, but no luck so far. I have a dresser in our room that is great changing table height so I'm thinking it might just be easier to keep the changing station in our room anyway since that's where we plan to have her sleep for the first few weeks/months. Of course after all this worry I'll probably be one of the people that doesn't use a changing pad/table! </p>
