Some changing table tricks

Cheap paper towels - for spills :-)
Quick-drying muslin. For drying off skin in a couple of dabs.
A clean nappy in an easy-to-reach place. We've found Huggies to be the best ones so far.
A clean sheet of paper towel until you get it all cleaned up - stops the clothes getting covered with any 'residue' or drops when it comes to buttoning back up.
Cotton wool balls - loads of them, for dipping in water to clean the skin.
Detoll Surface Cleaner - speaks for itself.
Thermos of warm water into which you dip your cotton wool - means you don't have to remember to get it first before you bring the baby through.
Thermos lid - it's just the right amount of warm water to clean one bum.
An important spot - you put the dirty stuff here while you clean up. Place it higher and little hands start to investigate what's inside. And that means yet another thing to clean.

good tip with the thermos - thanks! cotton wool can be a bit fiddly and tedious, we found using washable fleece wipes super handy, they scoop it all up in a oner!

Great photo & tips! I love the lamp! The thermos is a good idea too. One addition I have - put a mirror on the wall or something to distract baby while you are changing his diaper. Especially once baby is a toddler and a routine diaper change can turn into a professional wrestling match!
