When preparing for your baby's arrival, creating a well-stocked and organized changing table is essential for smooth and stress-free diaper changes. In this post, part of our Nesting Series, we’ll be covering all the must-have items for a changing table, with a twist—since we're keeping ours in the bathroom, we'll also include some baby bathing essentials and medications that will come in handy. If your changing table is in the baby's bedroom, feel free to adjust the list to suit your needs, but we hope this gives you some ideas on how to create a convenient, functional space for your little one.
