Hi


Some advice if I may.. First bub due in october and I have to have a c-section so am tossing up getting an all in one change and bathing station, to bath baby in the sink first and then to the big bath combined with an on the top of the cot changer or a set of drawers with a change bit on top.. I am leaning towards the all in one but my other half isn't convinced.. Thanks!!

We started off bathing ours in the bathroom sink, then moved to the big bath. I have always struggled with a sore back (which was a lot worse after having babies) and would recommend having a changing mat up higher than bed/floor.


We got drawers with a changing mat on top, and once we'd finished with the changing mat they had a wooden top that fitted over top so they look just like a normal chest of drawers now. Well worth the money IMO. In the early weeks I also had a "changing station" set up on the dining room table (changing mat, wipes, nappies etc.) so that I didn't constantly have to go upstairs - probably more important with #2 when there's another child to watch out for, but useful first time round too.

Don't bathe in the kitchen sink! It is completely unhygienic.


We had a changing station with bath incorporated, first time around, but found the bath feature unnecessary. My husband used to bathe with the lo plus shorts so i could photograph the early baths. Then we had a white 45 degree thing and finally a fun seat thing that the baby sits in till quite large.


Second time around didn't bother with the bath aspect of the changing station.


Good luck! It's very exciting!

    • I’m basing it on the fact that Jeremy Corbyn had repeatedly and on record said he is against mandatory vaccinations in any situation, and he wouldn’t disclose wether he had the Covid vaccine himself    as I said. Not as bad as his brother but very definitely a bit weird about the whole thing. Just say you had the vaccination Jeremy, say that everyone should and stop being weird in the middle of a global pandemic    it’s the same slippery evasive nonsense about Brexit and him. About Putin poisonings and him.     if you are happy with his evasiveness then you do you.  But there is a reason the country wouldn’t get behind him 
    • It was my understanding that Jeremy Corbyn was embarrassed by his brother and had distanced himself from his brother's views. I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong. Why on earth should "the overall view of that family inform Jeremy's response to the pandemic"? What exactly are you basing that assumption on?
    • I guess it's best to do what most Brits do these days, keep your head down and say nothing! although that's probably why this country is in the mess it is today!  😞
