IKEA Trofast cabinet & changing table
For Lia's time, we didn't have a changing table. I've always thought that it was dangerous, and that Lia would roll off and fall to the floor. During my confinement over at my in-laws' house, I changed Lia in her cot. It wasn't good at all as I had to bend over and I suffered from backaches. Not to mention the accidents we've got, Lia's cot sheets got stained with pee and poo several times. Talk about changing cot sheets in the wee hours of the morning, not fun at all.
I also didn't like the idea of standing when I'm changing her, so I changed her on our bed when we moved back home. In that way, I could sit down and take my own sweet time while I worked my way meticulously over her. But as the time passed, I grew sick of the hassle of laying out, and then putting away those stuff - changing pad, baby creams, powder, cotton buds/pads, etc, after I'm done. And those 'accidents' that still occurred occasionally; I would wanna spend my precious time bonding with my two kids instead of doing those chores!
We went out (I went a couple of times by myself) to IKEA and looked, and pondered, and touched. I was eyeing the Hensvik range; but it was a slightly more pricey and looking at the quality and all, James preferred the Trofast.
We finally bought this for Baby Zann last week.
Total cost: S$ 323
Breakdown: Trofast frame: S$ 150, changing table top: S$ 39, changing pad: S$ 10, set of 4 drawers: S$ 59, cabinet door: S$ 25, shevles, 4 nos.: S$ 40.
I'd brought out the hand-me-down baby clothes to wash, and James popped home at lunch time to fix up the set yesterday. (I had no where else to store those clothes) The changing table was protruding quite a bit, and if we were to have a drawer in the first slot, it is really difficult to get stuff out from it, thus, we decided to leave it open, and will slot a shelf into it. The shelves were out of stock when we bought the cabinet, and that explains the unsightly opening you see now.
Big sister wants to pose and take a photo too.
Let's look inside the cabinet, it's sparse for now and those diapers, are a mere fraction of what we had stocked up. You shall see in my next post. ;p
