House set up

On our main floor we have a changing table in our bathroom. Bassinet in our room and a blanket and puppy pad on the chest at the foot of our bed for night changes. We do most of our changes on those.

In the basement we have a mini changing table (one of those ones that attach to a crib without the crib). It has drawers so we have some other things stored in it like cat medicine and cat toys. We didn't have a nap station in the basement yet but I'm keeping my eye out for bassinet used that might fit our spare room.

(we also have a nursery but aren't really using it outside of me pumping in there right now)

good to know I’m not the only one with a changing set up at the end of the bed!😂

We have a similar set up. Upstairs a bassinet and a changing table (pretty much only use the changing table for big blowouts and after bathtime). Most of the time I am upstairs i just change him on the bed. Downstairs I have one of those playpens that have a changing table on top. Paid like $80 at target for it and it’s pretty useful. The whole thing is pretty good for traveling too and the bed level is adjustable. I also have a bedside cart with supplies so I don’t have to get diapers from the changing table, and a supply caddy downstairs with stuff too. It simplified everything for us to have stuff on hand. Highly recommend the cart/caddy if you don’t have one yet. You can just move it around as needed

yes! I also have a bedside cart & downstairs cart!

Bassinet in my side of the bed. Changing pad on top of my dresser in our room. Pack and play downstairs that has a changing station section.

I had a changing station with my son, but I never used it, so i got rid of it. We ended up doing most of our changes on the couch or bed (I either throw down a baby blanket or just put the new diaper under the old) i do have a little fabric caddy in the livingroom with diapers, wipes, creams, and whatnot. We have a pack n play in the living room, the swing and bouncer around the house for set down convenience. The best advice is just to do whatever works for you, don't worry about eyesores, your house is going to be taken over by a toddler in less than a year, also you live there and convenience and usability are more important, at least to me lol.

right? The absolute destruction of a toddler is so true.

very true!! Thank you for that encouragement haha

We live in an apartment with one floor/level . I don’t think we really have a set up 😅 We have a pack n play in our room next to our bed that my son sleeps in . Then we have his diapers (box), lotion, baby powder and wipes next to his pack n play on the floor for when I need them. His clothing, shoes and other items are in his big brother’s room as they’ll be sharing when he gets to that age. Throughout the day, we’re either in the bedroom taking a nap or we’re in the living room while I’m playing video games and he’s in his bouncer next to me. I don’t have a changing station as I change him on the bed .
