Her feet hang off the end. I like the changing table b/c it's at the right height where I don't have to stoop over to change diapers, so I'll probably keep using it for as long as possible. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-stop-using-a-changing-tablepad#post-1093742 Tue, 17 Sep 2013 21:52:08 +0000 BeachMama 1093742@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Ree723 - Haha, love the octopus in a paper bag comparison. Sounds about right for my DD! Changing her on the floor or bed is way harder than on the dresser/changing pad! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-stop-using-a-changing-tablepad#post-1093622 Tue, 17 Sep 2013 20:47:31 +0000 SugarplumsMom 1093622@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Still using it at 14.5 months. If I find her something new to play with during poopy changes, it works. By new, it can be a piece of jewelry or a vitamin bottle - just something she can't normally play with. When DH's home, he changes her and we both have to hold her down. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-stop-using-a-changing-tablepad#post-1093534 Tue, 17 Sep 2013 20:06:22 +0000 Penny Lane 1093534@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I used a change table without a changing pad (just stuck a receiving blanket on there) for the first probably 6 months. after that I gave up and just changed him on the floor. his room is carpeted and he's got a sheepskin rug in there that I normally lay him on! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-stop-using-a-changing-tablepad#post-1093428 Tue, 17 Sep 2013 19:15:25 +0000 shopaholic 1093428@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>K is 6+ months now and I find myself changing her about 50% of the time on the floor or in her crib. She is just too wriggly and squirmy! I'm also finding that she is so long now, if I don't position her just right, she's kicked the wooden changing pad tray. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-stop-using-a-changing-tablepad#post-1093423 Tue, 17 Sep 2013 19:08:03 +0000 Rubies 1093423@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We never had a changing table - we used her Ikea Hemnes dresser and now the Ikea Expedit. But we still used a changing pad - she's 2 years old now and we still use the pad. Her legs are off it now but I still lay her down on it when I change her diaper. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-stop-using-a-changing-tablepad#post-1093374 Tue, 17 Sep 2013 18:42:45 +0000 Mrs. High Heels 1093374@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>As soon as he started rolling (5 months) I stopped changing him on the changing table. Instead, I took the changing pad and now change him on the floor... so I do still use the changing pad, just not the table. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-stop-using-a-changing-tablepad#post-1093360 Tue, 17 Sep 2013 18:31:14 +0000 Ree723 1093360@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Still using it at nearly 15 months! It's the only place where she somewhat stays in one place for a nappy change. Trying to do it on the bed after a bath or shower is like trying to wrestle an octopus into a paper bag, at least on the change table she can't really go anywhere! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-stop-using-a-changing-tablepad#post-1093315 Tue, 17 Sep 2013 18:03:41 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 1093315@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Still using it at 16 months.</p> <p>I don't know where we would change her if we didn't use it! Changing her on the floor is WAY too hard, and I don't want to risk getting poop on anything else! LOL </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-stop-using-a-changing-tablepad#post-1093298 Tue, 17 Sep 2013 17:55:49 +0000 sandy 1093298@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>99% of diaper changes at home take place on her changing pad. She's 22 months and definitely too long but her legs just hang over to the sides and it doesn't bother her. I have the choosee changing pad. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-stop-using-a-changing-tablepad#post-1093276 Tue, 17 Sep 2013 17:40:42 +0000 BeachMama 1093276@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Thenetexan - Does your LO still fit on the changing pad? DD is 16 months and she's just about getting too long for it. I don't want to stop using it though because it's easier to change her up on the dresser than it is on the floor. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-stop-using-a-changing-tablepad#post-1093234 Tue, 17 Sep 2013 17:03:42 +0000 katsupgirl 1093234@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Around 7 months. I just change her on the bed now. We move the stuff around. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-stop-using-a-changing-tablepad#post-1093225 Tue, 17 Sep 2013 16:57:29 +0000 rrachael 1093225@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO is 9 months ... I use it in the am when we wake up because she's calm/still sleepy ... But otherwise I find myself using the floor or our bed (with a pad beneath her) more and more because she just wants to move around which makes the changing table scary! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-stop-using-a-changing-tablepad#post-1093205 Tue, 17 Sep 2013 16:47:37 +0000 oliviaoblivia 1093205@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Five months. As soon as her poopy butt started to crawl away from me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-stop-using-a-changing-tablepad#post-1093202 Tue, 17 Sep 2013 16:46:00 +0000 Thenetexan 1093202@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Still using it at 21 months. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-stop-using-a-changing-tablepad#post-1093199 Tue, 17 Sep 2013 16:45:01 +0000 CupQuakeWalk 1093199@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He's 11+m and now it is just a game of wrestling him down, body slamming and chasing now:) Its like a warrior battle to get that diaper on. We only use the changing pad after baths when he is all tuckered out. So, I voted 10-12m, although in all honestly it *is* still used on occasion. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-stop-using-a-changing-tablepad#post-1093194 Tue, 17 Sep 2013 16:43:05 +0000 lovehoneybee 1093194@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We always just did it on the floor or our bed. He squirmed way too much to even think about using a table. I can't even imagine how hard it would be now...I already have to practically hold him down to get his diaper changed! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-stop-using-a-changing-tablepad#post-1093175 Tue, 17 Sep 2013 16:34:53 +0000 babynumber1 1093175@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Still going strong at 16 months. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-stop-using-a-changing-tablepad#post-1093173 Tue, 17 Sep 2013 16:32:49 +0000 mrskc 1093173@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think it was around 8 months. He just squirmed too much and I was worried he would fall off so I just change him on the floor. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-stop-using-a-changing-tablepad#post-1093170 Tue, 17 Sep 2013 16:30:17 +0000 twinmama 1093170@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We've always used just a changing pad on the floor, in our living room and in the nursery. It's still working well at 14 months. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-stop-using-a-changing-tablepad#post-1093166 Tue, 17 Sep 2013 16:27:38 +0000 birdofafeather 1093166@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>As Row gets longer and older, she's not fitting on her changing pad/table like she used to. She squirms all around and it's an adventure getting her changed most of the time.</p> <p>The changing table/pad is the only good place to change her in her room though: the floor is hard and then there is only a glider and her crib in there. i guess we could move the stuff to our room and change her on the bed?</p> <p>when did you stop using the changing table/pad and where did you move diaper changes to? </p>
