What do you put on your changing table shelves?

I have a basic changing table. Top for the pad with two shelves below it. I am boggled as to what to put on the shelves and where.



I am planning on cloth diapering and I suppose that diapers should go on the top of the two shelves and maybe some of the essentials (like wipes and powder) as well.



What else do you put on your changing table shelves? What do you put on the bottom shelf?What do you put on your changing table shelves?I keep the obvious things that you mentioned on there but also quick things that you need to grab a lot like onesies, bibs, a bowl of binkies, blankies, and socks. Good luck.
What do you put on your changing table shelves?
I have drawers:



Top drawer is diapers, extra wipes and rash cream



Middle drawer is blankets



Bottom drawer is overflow crap that hasn't found another home yet.



You can always buy 2-3 baskets or cloth storage bins to hold whatever you need to store.
What do you put on your changing table shelves?
When my son was little, I stored his bathtub on the bottom shelf, and extra diapers, wipes and powder on the top shelf. Once he started crawling and walking I had to remove everything from the shelves. Eventually I just got rid of the changing table and just used the pad only, secured to the top of a dresser.
I had diapers, wipes, lotion, diaper rash cream, powers, and all that good stuff. But I also kept blankets, because sometimes you just need a blanket. And also a couple outfits because of leaky diapers.
I put Diapers, wipes, ointments, etc... on the top shelf and then the bottom shelf I put swaddling blankets, burp cloths, bibs, onesies, hats, and socks. Certain outfits were hung while others were put in her dresser.
I have same changing table. I have three baskets on the bottom shelf, one has wash clothes, one has baby soaps and lotions, and the other has brushes, nail clippers nasal aspirator etc. The second shelf has wipes, diapers and towels, the inside just has misc stuff, wipes, diaper creme etc.
If you are cloth diapering a newborn you will need a lot of diapers!



We had our cloth pocket diapers and all-in-one diapers on the top shelf of our change table. On the bottom shelf we had fitted diapers, pre-fold diapers, covers and doublers. In total I had 50-60 diapers, so that covered all the space we had!



Great choice to cloth diaper, I am sure you will love it!
