Changing Table

One of the most useful baby shower gifts that you can buy for a woman who is expecting is a changing table. This wonderful invention has saved my back and my mattress from utter annihilation. I did not know how valuable the changing table was until I didn’t have one. I just took it for granted without realizing how useful it really is.

I discovered the importance of this baby necessity while were in the midst of moving into our new home. The changing table was safely tucked away in the moving truck. I instructed my husband and his friends to put it in the front of the truck because it was not an absolute necessity and we could wait until more important items were moved before taking it out. My husband asked me if I was sure in a way that almost made me think twice about the decision.

Soon I wished that I had really thought the decision through. I did not really think about how often I used the changing table and I certainly did not realize how uncomfortable I would be without it. My husband did wonder why I would give up something that I used so often, but I did not even consider how much I used the changing table and how useful it really was.

The first thing I noticed was that the height of the changing station is very important when it comes to your lower back. When I changed my daughter’s diaper on the floor, I was bent in an awkward position that left a knot the size of an orange in my lower back. I also had discomfort when I changed her on my bed. I was bent at just such and angle that the knot tightened and I had trouble straightening back up. I never had this problem with the changing table.

I also did not consider that the changing table was a valuable storage unit. It was the perfect organizational station for the baby’s changing needs. I found myself looking all over the place for ointment, powder and diapers and with little success. The table was actually too convenient. It just left me with no concerns.

The final straw was the few accidents that the baby had while I was changing her. I was really disappointed in the wet spot on my mattress, especially because it was on my side of the bed. I told my husband that the first thing we needed to unpack once we got to the new home was the changing table. It is now considered one of the most important pieces of furniture in the house.
