Changing Table
Are you getting a changing table ? I always thought I would but then when I was thinking about the praciticalities of it the other day, I thought I would probably get a chest of drawers and then just change baby on the floor (on a changing mat of course). That way there is less chance of an accident if s/he's a wriggler.
Any thoughts ???

Think tables/units are useful if you have c sections and cant bend, you can get ones that go onto cot. xx
If you got a chest of drawers thats the same size you could probably use it as a changing table anyway if you changed your mind.

I don't think I would have bought one especially as some of the stand alone units just have a few basic shelves underneath and I do think its a waste of space!
Alot of people seem to say they end up changing on the floor or bed so I'm sure that would be fine!

I will be using it again when baby arrives, I really liked it.

and only used it for a few months and only for the bath, we have a seperate changing mat which we just use on our bed (we live in a flat) and JJ just goes in the big bath now...looking to sell it now so it was a complete waste!! x
We also got a spare, plain, changing mat for downstairs and travel - mainly for the first week or so's poops (the minging ones!) as we've got a nice material changing mat in the nursery and I don't want the black poo all over it!!
My sister had a changing unit with shelves and a cupboard, but she said that she wishes she'd got a drawer unit as she desperately needed the space for clothes etc...

MrsJBourne - I was thinking about getting one of those for bath time. Although I might just get a plastic bath and put it in my bath. I don't think I'm going to get a changing table - I'm just going to sit on the floor ... thanks for all your comments everyone !
