Changing Pads

One thing’s for sure, when you have a baby, you change a lot of diapers! And, it’s important to ensure that your furniture will be protected when those diapers are being changed. It’s also important that your baby be comfortable while you’re diapering him. For the optimum in comfort and convenience, you’ll likely want to own three different types of changing pads.

A Permanent Pad For Your Changing Table At Home – These thick, waterproof changing pads fit exactly onto your changing table. They’re comfortable and provide a convenient place for diapering. For extra comfort and style, they’re usually covered with cloth covers, typically to match your nursery. You’ll find changing pad covers in terry cloth and cotton, and they are easily removed from the changing pad for washing. Buy several covers, as you’ll need to change them regularly.

A Portable Baby Changing Pad –These convenient changing pads fold up and fit right in your diaper bag. They’re much thinner than a permanent changing pad, but are waterproof and portable. You can simply wipe them clean with a baby wipe after diapering and put them right back in the diaper bag. These are often included with the purchase of a diaper bag, so be certain to look for one. If your diaper bag doesn’t include one, you can also buy them separately. It can be very convenient to have an extra portable changing pad in your car, as well.

Disposable Changing Pads – These changing pads are a lifesaver when traveling. They’re perfect for covering those changing tables you’ll find in public restrooms, ensuring that your baby has a clean place to lay during changing. When you’re traveling, you’ll often find that locating a clean place to diaper your baby is nearly impossible, which is why disposable changing pads are so handy. And, because you simply throw them away when you’re done, there’s no cleanup. These are also convenient for use on top of your portable changing pad, when you’re not in a position to clean the pad after use. Simply place a disposable changing pad on top of the portable pad and your baby has comfort and you have no clean up!

Changing pads of all types are very convenient and are essential to clean and germ free diapering. Make certain that you have some of all varieties to make diapering your baby a breeze!
