CHANGING TABLES
 
A changing table in the nursery provides a safe, sturdy place to change and dress baby. There are many different types of changing tables, including those that have a built-in dresser.

•    When selecting a changing table, look for one with straps that help prevent baby from falling.
•    If the changing table does not come with straps, purchase them separately and install on the changing table.
•    ALWAYS use these straps to restrain baby when the changing table
is in use.
•    Be sure any baby products you need, such as powder or wipes, are easily accessible.
•    NEVER turn your back on baby when reaching for baby products.
•    Most importantly, NEVER leave baby unattended, even for the shortest moment.
