There’s nothing like the joy you feel when you learn you are going to be a “grandma.” I am speaking about a “first-time” grandma, namely ME because so far, I have only one grandchild. I am sure when grandchild number 2 is announced, I will be just as excited. If you are already a grandma or grandpa, then you know exactly what I am talking about. First on my list of things to do was getting all the stuff I needed to set up a nursery in my home. I planned on watching my little pumpkin while mommy and daddy worked.
Included in the list was a baby changing table dresser. In a previous blog, I shared some information and special deals for portable cribs. For today’s purposes I want to discuss a very important piece for your nursery – the baby changing table dresser as you will need a place to put extra clothes for the baby as well as a place to change his diapers.
Save Your Back
As we get older we find that even though we “think” we can do certain things, our body reminds us that we can’t. For instance, getting up in the morning takes a little bit longer because I find that my legs feel stiff and my back won’t cooperate. It’s a little harder these days to bend over to put my slippers on. Oh, but this seemed to have snuck up on me because I really don’t feel that old. Oh well, it’s part of life and we have to pull up our big girl pants and move on. Especially when your grandchild is on his way over! I tell myself, get a grip old girl and get with the program. LOL, anyway, enough of that.
My journey so far as a new grandma has been an exciting and fun one! I immediately began to make a list of items I would need for the house and picked a spot to set up the portable crib and changing table. One thing is for sure, do not attempt to change a baby on your bed. First, it is extremely hard on your back and second, it is not a safe idea. You will need baby wipes, diapers, either baby powder or ointment (I prefer A&D ointment), extra clothes, bibs, burp cloths, receiving blankets, baby wash cloths, towels, socks and a place to put it all.
When baby soils the diaper, it sometimes leaks out and soils the clothes. So you have to be prepared to change the baby’s clothes as well as the diaper. It’s important to have everything you need within easy reach so you don’t have to step away. Never, never, never leave a baby unattended on the changing table!
What I love about this changing table
I love having the changing table dresser combination because I have everything I need right at my disposal. This is not only a back saver, but a beautiful piece of furniture which can be used for many years to come! The dresser I am describing is made primarily of wood and makes for a great accent to any bedroom or nursery. There are two smaller drawers on the top for your baby wipes, diaper ointments, bibs, cloths etc. Then you have two large drawers for all your baby’s clothes.
It comes in two beautiful neutral colors, rustic grey and rustic driftwood. It will go with any décor. The changing table is removable and then this serves as a dresser.
Make sure you have two people to assemble
I want to stress to you that if you purchase this changing table/dresser, make sure you have two people to assemble it. It is quite heavy and it will take two to put it together. Save again, your back and frustration. You will need two people to assemble properly but when done it is so worth it! You’ll have a beautiful, sturdy and amazing changing table dresser that will last for many years to come. It will enhance the nursery’s look and work well for converting to child’s bedroom. You will have a wonderful dresser for all your little one’s clothes.

Don’t forget the changing pad!
I have inserted below a link for a Beauty Rest waterproof changing table pad. You will need to purchase this separately from the dresser. This changing pad fits in between the slots on top of the dresser and is a standard fit for changing pad covers.
