Changing tables are tables for changing - not anything a magician may demonstrate. They're like backless bookcases with a small holding pen for baby on top. Below you store the diapers and other changing paraphernalia. Fortunately, changing tables are getting bigger and better than ever. Where they used to be these wobbly, flimsy stands that swayed back and forth when you put your baby on top, they're now sturdy and truly handy.

Important Baby Items Every New Mommy & Daddy Will Need
Having a baby is no cheap endeavor. The first bit of good news is that you don't need everything all at once, so save taking a second mortgage for a later time (like when your kids go to college).
