Changing pad cover??

Question

I'm a FTM so please excuse me if this is a stupid question...
 Are changing pad covers inconvenient? I only have one and I feel like I should have a million because won't the baby get poop all over it? Then you have to wash it numerous times a day, that just sounds like such a hassle. I got the changing pad cover because its soft and warm for the baby's bottom, I didn't want something cold that would upset her when I change her. The nursery I work at uses the paper they use on the beds at doctors offices but I feel like that would be uncomfortable for her too.
Any suggestions? I would appreciate it so much!

Answer

I only have 1 cover, and it rarely gets dirty with diaper changes. I throw it in the wash once a week. Although it's not a bad idea to buy 2 and alternate them. I also keep a few old burp clothes in my diaper drawer and when there's an especially messy diaper change, I'll put that under the baby's bum so I can just throw the rag in the laundry without dirtying my cute changing pad cover

Answer

I have one and it hasn't ever gotten dirty. Place an open diaper underneath the one you're changing to avoid messes.

Answer

You could also get liners that just sit on top of the cover. Target has a pack of three for like eight bucks.

Answer

I have one but I also have the removable (and washable) cover protectors 😁 I'm also a FTM so I may be over doing it

Answer

I have 2 and change them as needed, they don't need to be changed after every changing of baby.

Answer

I always just used receiving blankets underneath baby because they were soft and warm and easier to change and wash if dirty

Answer

1 cover was enough for us, but I did buy a backup. Surprisingly, we never had diaper explosions, or surprise pee/poos during changes. After unlatching a dirty diaper, I'd lift him up, and set him on the outside of the dirty one while cleaning him, and then removed it quickly, and set a new fresh one under. His lil bum never made contact with the cover.

Answer

When I change my dd I don't put her bum down on anything cuz it's so much easier for them to go to the bathroom and you not able to catch it. Instead I open the new diaper, and my wipes and cream, and then I take off my dd old diaper and wipe her then put the clean one under her while still holding her bum up then put cream on and do her up. Less mess entirely that way lol.
