Re: Is a changing table really necessary?

We are getting a dresser w/ a changing table top. I don't think you need a separate changing table. A dresser w/ a topper will work just as good. Personally I like having a designated spot to change the baby. That way if things get messy it is only the changing pad cover, etc... that needs to be cleaned. I would hate to have to clean my entire bedding b/c of a poop explosion.
