Advice to young mothers. Baby changing table

It's amazing how much the child will need in the first year of his life! A cot, a stroller, a bath, mountains of clothes and diapers, not to mention additional items for the convenience of mom and baby entertainment - mobile, chaise lounge, swings and other. A separate item on such a list can be a changing table. Is it necessary? Every mother must answer this question herself.

The older generation only shakes their heads - they were wrapping and dressing their children on beds, sofas and ordinary tables, so they will find such a thing superfluous. Perhaps they are right. But if modern manufacturers do everything to ensure that parents can take care of their children without sacrificing comfort, why not take advantage of it?

The changing table is equipped with bumpers, which prevents the child from falling. In addition, such tables are often equipped with hooks for towels, additional shelves, can have bottle holders.

So, a changing table is needed to swaddle a child. And also undress, dress and perform hygiene procedures. In fact, this is a very convenient invention. It is important only to choose it correctly.

The height of the changing table should be such that the mother does not have to stand over the baby, bending over. A mattress should not slide over the surface of the table.

Well, what kind of swaddling clothes to choose depends on the parents themselves: their personal preferences, financial possibilities and the area of the apartment. To date, quite common chests with changing tables.

This, so to speak, the device "two in one." In boxes it is convenient to store children's things, and on the surface to disguise a child. Usually, this changing table can be folded or simply removed as unnecessary.

Excellent option for the bathroom - changing table with a bath. It also performs several functions. The swaddling board itself reclines, and beneath it is a small bathtub in which you can bathe a child. Of course, such a product should be preferred only if the area of the bathroom allows it to be delivered.

Small changing tables without additional functions are of two types - portable and suspended. A portable table is just a board with sides and a mattress. It can be easily taken with you on a trip. The hanging table is convenient for its compactness. At a time when it is not needed, it can simply be folded, and it will not take up any space at all.

It is not difficult to make a simple changing table by yourself. This will significantly save the family budget, and look like such a product will not be worse than a store, if, of course, Dad will try. To make a table, you can use boards from old furniture. You will also need fasteners, foam rubber and cladding material. It is better to use a medical oilcloth. She has a tissue base, so it will last longer.

No matter how safe your changing table is, do not leave a child, even the smallest, on it alone. Modern children are very mobile. Think about what you will never forgive yourself if the baby falls from such a height.
