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 am  ill in bed with Covid. It's not that I "can't be bothered" to read things. I am feeling crap and don't have the energy at the moment. I am not "brushing stuff aside and pleading ignorance." I am truthfully saying when I don't presently know enough about something to comment. I have always been very careful to try to  differentiate between fact and opinion in my posts, and I am not clear what your point is. And I am certainly not trying to wind anybody up. This is a forum. If you don't want to respond to my posts, that's up to you. I'm not sure why you feel the need to announce it.   
    • @NewWave I know how you feel. Like you, I've lived and spent prolonged periods of time in some pretty crazy places and always thought I could handle a bunch of kids. But, no - they got to me and I was shaking like a leaf afterwards. That's what age does to us.  But I did engage with them, so bear that in mind.  My advice would be to never let anything like that stop you doing the things you love. I'm certainly not going to stop using the park, there's no way they get to take away our cherished spaces!  If you see them, just change tack and keep out of their way. My dog won't even go that way again, so that's that problem solved. (If I see them again, I'm going to keep taking photos from a safe distance).
