I'm sure you've noticed the baby changing stations you can find in most public restrooms. These fold down, hard plastic changing tables usually have a strap to hold the baby in place and gives you a way to easily change your baby's baby while you are out of the house. While these are not too comfortable, being cold hard plastic, any parent who has used one will realize how nice it is to change your baby without getting on your hands and knees. The great news is that there is a way to have this same convenience at home.

There is a large variety of baby changing stations available for the home and they are much nicer than the ones found in public restrooms. They are tables with slight raised edges and some type of strap to keep your baby secure through the changing. Many have wheels that you can lock so you can easily move it from room to room. Some may have padding that you can cover with a disposable or washable sheet for your baby's comfort. They also offer storage room for babies, wipes, creams, and anything else you need nearby during a changing. In addition, they come in many colors and styles so you can find one that will match your home or nursery décor.

Getting a baby changing table for your home is a great idea. They make your baby feel more comfortable and give your back a much needed rest. Baby changing stations also help your baby understand that when they are on the table, it is time to calm down and allow themselves to be changed. The more they get into the habit of being changed on the table, the more they will understand that table time is changing time and cooperate better with you.
