Okay thanks ladies, I feel better about it now!
PP some diaper changes here are scary too lol a few times I've had to straddle her, on my knees, and hold her little body snug between my legs because she just would not stop twisting and rolling... it's especially bad when she's really wound up and she's poopy because instead of waiting until I'm going to put the new dipe on (which generally she does) she starts trying to roll around before I've even had a chance to wipe her!!
I guess I can see why a changing table might be nice at this age... maybe she wouldn't want to play so much if she was up high and strapped in?
