Where do you change diapers?

Well, Bluerose and Busy ECE Mommy, I am very much on the same side with you, but I thought I am crazy to think that mat can substitute changing table. Now I am even more confused

May be I will start with the mat and see if I have to switch to the table.

It basically is what is most convenient for you. On the floor or on a change table the consistency comes when disinfecting and leaving it all clear and clean. Some caregivers find hard to change on tables if they have three years olds not potty trained (hard on your back); other's find hard to stay on their knees to change so, it basically depends on you. My only positive advise would be to keep it always clean. I know some parents do not mind but I like to keep it consistent with health practicioners (perhaps just me but once you train yourself that way it pays off, parents also see and recognize the hygienic steps and measures you follow). I have worked in centres and it takes good training steps. Or you can also get sick I remember a friend who got hepatitis from a toodler it was awful with all she had to dealt with, all could this had been prevented by just using gloves. And washing hands thoroughly.
