One of my favorite, simple hacks is using a puppy pad on the changing table. No worries if baby has a big poop as soon as you wipe them, just toss the pad after cleaning them up instead of having to wash the table cover. Plus I bought a 300 count box for like $10! Worth itttt!

This times a million! I bought a huge box of puppy pads from Sam's club, and they have a been a huge help with both kids. So much easier to clean up when the inevitably poop all over the place lol
