Directions to Make a Baby Change Table

A dressing table for your baby can easily be made.

According to KidsHealth.org, a baby may need to be changed 10 times or more per day. Having a safe and comfortable place to perform this duty will make it a more pleasant experience. A dresser makes a perfect base for a changing table. It's a stable piece of furniture with an ample top and plenty of storage. As an added bonus, the dresser will still be useful long after your baby is out of diapers.

Things You'll Need

• 1 waist-high dresser
• 1 contoured changing pad with safety belt
• 2 wood screws
• Drill

Instructions

1. Lay the contoured changing pad lengthwise across the top of the dresser with the safety straps hanging over the back and the front.

2. Position the bottom ends of the straps against the wood of the dresser. Use wood screws and a drill to attach the straps to a stationary part of the dresser and not a drawer.

3. Place your baby on the changing pad and secure him with the safety straps before changing his diaper.
