What to store in baskets under change table

[rajnin]

Hello ladies,

Apart from nappy wipes/nappies and baby cream etc, what are you girls storing under your change table? I have 3 baskets to go under my change table, can but more if needed. Just want idea what you will put under change table.

To start off with baby will be in our room in a Moses basket and the change table will also be In our room - will put in babies room once we move baby to his room.

Mines got nappies, wipes, nappy bags, bum cream.

I also have a Laura Ashley box in the lounge which is the downstairs change box with the same thing in.

I only have one box on my change table because it's facing outwards for straight changing instead of having 3 if it was in the awkward changing from the side position!

We had to dismantle our table and transfer everything to high shelves because we turned the spare room into a play room for the children and there was no room for it!

On the top was obviously the mat

Second shelf were stacks of nappies, then one box with bottle of moisturisers, baby oil (which we've not used since Toby was tiny), spare baby bath, sudocrem and Bepanthen, cotton buds, cotton wool balls, mini bottle of Dettol, alcohol gel (I always use it after nappy changes), Ella's hairbrush and comb. Plus one pack of baby wipes in circulation.

On the shelf below was a basket which fit 12 packets of wipes, which we buy in bulk, and a box with breast milk storage bags (obv will move to the kitchen when bubs os born) swim nappies, and a little tub with thermometer, nail clippers, nail files, a repair puncture pack for the ball pit, sock-ons and other teeny things. Rest of the shelf was Sangenic cassettes and unopened nappy packs!

We never allow anything to run out, any household item, baby or adult toiletry, cleaning product etc we keep 2 or 3 of so there's always one in reserve :]

Also keep a bottle of water or two around. I have a glider in DS's nursery and got so thirsty when I bf'ed him. Also helpful if something spills and you need to clean up or wipe their face/body, etc.

I have a tote with all the lotions, bath washes, silicone cup to rinse and shampoos on one row.

Underneath I have washcloths, hooded bath towels, spit rags and burp cloths.

Lastly, blankets and sheets.
