What accessories do you need for changing your baby?

Having a baby is no small feat! But often, it's hard to imagine just how much work it really is! For changing, for example, your baby will need to be changed about 6 to 8 times a day during their first year! So it's a lot of work, but also a lot of equipment! So what are the essential accessories for changing your baby? Make sure to buy them before your baby arrives.

The Changing Table

When you're just visiting friends, you can use a dresser, for example, to change your baby, but at home, a changing table is a must. Focus on practicality over design. There are some very nice ones with drawers for storing your diapers and products. Also, prioritize safety—choose a sturdy changing table and place it against a wall to reduce the risk of your baby falling.

Diapers

When it comes to diapers, you can choose between disposable and washable diapers. Your choice will depend on your needs. Of course, washable diapers are more environmentally friendly, but they need to be washed by hand and take a lot of time. In both cases, make sure you have plenty in stock well before your baby arrives.

Baby products

You’ll need to clean your baby’s bottom at changing time. You can choose a gentle cleanser suitable for baby’s skin and a basin of water, which is much more eco-friendly than the famous wipes. You can also have both and alternate depending on your needs.
