20 weeks with first baby and starting to think about sorting the babies room! the room is small so its looking likely we will get a tall boy set of drawers which are usually about 120cm high, expect these will be too high to change the baby on but storage is an issue so no other choice!
question is - do I need a changing table? I have also seen changing boards that fit on top of the cot that i'm thinking could be good? any advice would be greatly appreciated!!

I don't see the point as baby will be in your room for the first six months anyway. We changed baby on a large bay windowsill in our bedroom but on the floor or on the bed on a mat also works well.

Me to, our baby won't be getting their own room until they move into it! No point, it'll sit empty, and we need it as a study until then. Just change them on the floor or bed?

We didn’t have one for number one, just used a mat in low drawers, but did for number two and it was much much better on my back. I also had a change mat if I wanted to change on the floor in the lounge.
