Changing Pad & Wipe Station

Space-cartoon illustration of B the bee for Changing Pad & Wipe Station

B’s changing station is a crater with a soft cloud on top.

PANEL 1
B lays a cloud on a crater.
“Soft landing zone.”
PANEL 2
A vinyl pad squeaks.
“Squeaky = vinyl? Check the label.”
PANEL 3
B lines up wipes and balm.
“Mission kit ready.”

Step by step

  1. Pick a pad with organic cotton or PE waterproofing — not vinyl.
  2. Use organic cotton pad covers; have 3.
  3. Fragrance-free wipes or cloth wipes + water.
  4. Fragrance-free zinc diaper balm.
  5. Keep one hand on baby; never leave them unattended.
Study glowMany conventional changing pads use vinyl (PVC), which may contain plasticizers; PE or organic covers avoid that route.
