How to create the perfect changing table setup

Nothing’s worse than an urgent diaper change that’s ruined by missing wipes, no diapers in sight, or nothing around to help mommy clean up her hands (or surroundings) when a poop explosion goes really out of control. Prepare your changing table for every situation with our definite list of changing station must-haves.

Stocking Up is key

Having too many diapers and wipes is not really a thing. Stock up because the last thing you ever want to do is discover you’ve run out as a diaper change is about to go down (and they always do). Don’t forget to refill your baby diaper bag too for on-the-go messes. When your baby is in between diaper sizes just start buying into the bigger size to be prepared and stocked.

Stay clean, stay prepared

Kiddos make numerous wardrobe changes a day so always make sure to keep a fresh stash of clothes near your diapering station for any mishaps. Sensitive baby skin and harsh chemicals don't really mix well, so use our Hypoallergenic Laundry Detergent to keep your baby's outfits fresh.

Think beyond diapers and wipes

Always keep your diaper duty essentials front and center on your changing station for quick and easy access. Besides the obvious diapers and wipes, we recommend having our Soothing Bottom Wash (for extra tough diaper changes), Diaper Rash Cream, Alcohol Wipes (in case something nasty gets on mommy's or baby's hands) and Hand Sanitizer in clear sight.

Get more than one job done

Diaper changes aren't only necessary but sometimes also a nice way to break up the day and keep baby busy. Have our Face + Body Lotion and family-friendly Organic Body Oil on hand for impromptu baby massages. If your little one tends to get dry skin stock up on our Soothing Therapy Balm and Organic All Purpose Balm.

Necessary business, but make it fun

A different print a day (or diaper change), can keep the tantrums away! Our cute diaper prints are designed to delight not only parents, but also your little boo. Change up prints, tell your baby stories inspired by our design, or start introducing them to colors, animals, and more. Hanging a mirror close to your changing station can not only help with baby's development, but also keep them entertained (and distracted).

Don't forget to clean

Make it part of your routine to clean your changing table every night. After an easy day just wipe it off with our Multi-Surface Cleaner. After a day full of tough diaper changes, wet the surface, spray on our Disinfecting Spray, let it sit for 10 minutes, and then just wipe away all things nasty.
