Baby Changing Pad Cover - Just This Moment
Our affirmation changing pad covers were made for the parts of early parenthood nobody photographs — the 3am changes, the days that blur, the stretch where you are not sure you are doing any of it right. A line worth reading at 3am is worth more than a pattern.
Sizing, washing, and what the affirmation is for.
What size changing pad does this fit?
It fits standard contoured changing pads, roughly 16" × 32", which is the size the large majority of pads sold in the US are made to. Measure yours before ordering if it came as part of a furniture set, as those occasionally differ.
Is it machine washable?
Yes, and it needs to be — assume you will be washing it more often than you expect. Machine wash cold, tumble dry low.
Buying two so one is always clean is the single most common piece of advice from people who have used one.
What is the affirmation for?
The same reason as our candles. These are the objects you look at during the parts of early parenthood nobody photographs, and a line worth reading at 3am is worth more than a pattern.
Is it safe against a newborn's skin?
It is a soft knit with no loose embellishments, buttons or ties.
As with any changing setup, never leave a baby unattended on a changing surface even for a moment, and keep the pad's safety strap in use.
