You are viewing: When To Stop Using Changing Table
You should stop using a changing table if…
- Your baby grows and exceeds the weight limit of the changing table, which usually weigh between 30-35 pounds.
- Your baby is strong enough to sit up or roll from back to front easily, which means that this development milestone shows that they have outgrown it.
- Your baby can no longer be held in place safety with a child restraint (around the age of 6-12 months).
- You decide that you want to start potty training, so you may want to purchase one of our cot bed mattresses which are double sided, one side with our signature bamboo fabric and the other with our easy-clean waterproof training later, ideal for those potty training nights.
However, you may decide that you are not ready to leave the changing table just yet. But as your baby gets older and more independent, they may start to get a little restless when it’s time to change their nappy. This can be many attempts to roll away, kick, stand up and crawl away.
4 tips before you change their nappy…
- Make sure that all of the changing supplies are nearby so that you won’t be tempted to walk away from your baby as its very dangerous to leave your baby unattended.
- We offer anti roll changing mats to limit the amount of wriggling to make nappy changing less stressful for you and your baby.
- Your baby may feel more comfortable once you have established a routine and you do the same things every time.
- Distracting your baby, such as singing or talking to your baby means that they are less likely to squirm around during the change.
