hello ladies is it recommended that we get a changing table for our baby?

i had one never used it

Waste of money. I change my baby on the bed, couch, floor, wherever.

ok thats what my babys daddy was talking about

cause its more money we can spend on what ever else the baby needs

Im personally not getting one. I think they're unnecessary & it's unlikely that I'm going to carry my baby into his room to change him

true

I got one because it went with my nursery design and has a dresser attached but never use it to change him. Lol

thanks so much ladies, we are trying to think about what all we need to get

I got a dresser and put a changing pad on the dresser. you can still use the dresser for the drawers and put diapers and supplies into the top drawers and use the others for other things. then once baby is bigger just remove the changing pad! :)

well we only have a certain amount of money and im due in august on the 23

Lol I never used a changing table but everyone is different. it just wasn't a necessity at all cause like most moms it becomes normal to change your baby on the floor on your lap on your bed etc. lol

yes. thats what me and my fiance/babys father were gonna do was change our baby on our bed

@ftm2be you can always check Craigslist for a dresser or a discount furniture outlet. I have a 6 drawer one and we got a pretty good deal on it. you could always get it later on too😉

yes.. whats the main things we need to get

I never used one. I just change my daughter over a blanket or a waterproof pad. The main things u need... Diapers.. Wipes.. Crib.. Crib mattress. Blankets... (Swaddle ones are great for when younger), hats to keep them warm, mittens so they dont scratch themselves... Gas drops.. Clothes... Socks.. Baby towels. Baby bath.. Baby Wash cloth. Baby soap. Baby lotion. Teething rings are good cause my daughter started at 3 months. Sheets for mattress. I got a waterproof pad for under the sheet to keep the mattress nice..

Here's a list of newborn essential. I been checking things off since I found out I was pregnant and now I'm almost 24 weeks with little stress about it. Just get a little bit at a time. @ftm2be
