Most babies will be changed an average of six to nine times a day - that's a lot of time spent changing and on the changing table. That's why the changing area should be made as comfortable as possible for the baby. A soft pad is not only there so that your baby doesn't have to lie on a hard object, but also to give the baby a feeling of warmth and security. With the right changing mat, changing diapers is pleasant for the little ones and for you too it becomes an important ritual that can be fun and enjoyable.
What is a changing mat and how many changing mats are needed?
A changing mat is used to protect a changing mat underneath from dirt. The underlay usually consists of three layers, with one of the layers being impermeable to water. This property of a underlay is particularly practical if something goes wrong when changing. Because not all changing mats have an outside coating and are water-repellent. A proper, additional base prevents the changing mat from getting wet and constantly having to go into the washing machine.
Disposable documents or reusable documents
Just like with changing mats, there are also different solutions for pads. There are disposable pads that are quickly available in any drugstore or fabric pads that are washable and reusable. The disposable pads made of PVC or paper serve their purpose but produce a lot of waste and are therefore not particularly environmentally friendly. They also feel a little cold on the skin and are therefore not particularly pleasant. The surface of a fabric pad is soft and comfortable. Babies particularly like this and the positive feeling that is conveyed to the child has a positive effect on the entire diaper changing procedure. It is advisable to purchase two to three changing mats so that one is always on the changing table and the other serves as a reserve. Because the fabric pad can be machine washed and used multiple times, it is also an environmentally friendly alternative to disposable pads. Another advantage of the fabric base is that they are made from the same fabric to match the changing mat. This ensures a uniform image in the children's room and has a calming effect on the ambience. You can find documents tailored to the requirements for all fabrics in our shop.
