When Little Girl was born, I couldn't imagine ever forgetting a day of it. But lo and behold, 2 years later, I can't remember anything about those early days - How do you bathe a newborn? How many babygrows do we need? Do we need to put cream on them? I still have not researched this. I'm relying on the memories coming back, or my fail-safe : Winging It.
What I do remember, however, is the night time nappy changes. I do not miss those. With Little Baby in with us, it makes sense to have a changing station in our bedroom for the first few months, to save us having to stumble into the bathroom and blinding ourselves with bright lights.
We needed something simple and cheap, that wouldn't take up any space, so we decided to do what we did last time around and make do with the top of our dresser. Ta-dah! Instant changing table. We put the changing mat on there, and screwed a few wicker baskets to the wall above to use as shelves for nappies, creams, anti-bac gel and a few well chosen toys. Our decision to use cloth nappies adds a little pop of colour to the wall, and I made a removeable cover for the changing mat to make it nicer for Little Baby to lie on.
Let me know if you can spot any essentials I've missed on the shelves!!
