When it comes to changing time, you are juggling wipes or cotton, diaper cream, clothes, the baby reaching for everything, and then it happens…
Baby decides to pee right in the middle of it all while the diaper is off! Now you have to wipe up, change the baby’s clothes and when you’re done, wipe and wash the changing pad.
This was what we were doing on an almost daily basis with Alex until we happened upon a great idea.
When we were in the hospital right after Alex was born, the hospital had blue absorbent pads that were thin plastic on one side and cotton on the other. They were meant to go on the bed to absorb any fluids that leaked.
We thought these would be ideal for the baby changing table. We went on the hunt and found them for sale online. We bought a case of them and couldn’t be happier. Now when Alex decides at an inopportune moment to pee, we don’t have to go into a mad dash to clean it up and capture it before it soaks the changing table mattress and everything else.
It’s also nice when she has an explosion in her diaper as no matter how careful you try to be, you will end up with a huge mess. Now, we just place her in the middle of the blue changing pad and clean her up. If any of the mess gets on the pad, we just fold it up and throw it away.
At five to ten cents per pad, it’s a lot better than trying to wipe down and sanitize the changing table mattress every time there’s an accident. Trust me, you will agree it’s well worth it the first time you have an incident at 3am and you don’t feel like spending 10 minutes cleaning up.
Another great use for the blue under pads is to keep in your diaper bag for on the go changing. They have more than come in handy several times when we’re out on the road all day and finding a family friendly bathroom is out of the question. In these cases, we just stopped somewhere, spread out the blue changing pad on the car seat and change Alex without any worry that she may mess up the car seat.
It’s also handy when you don’t want to put the baby down on a public changing table, etc as you don’t know how clean they are. Well, just pull out the changing pad and when you’re done, just throw it away.
