Put baby in the corner. There's debate about the merits of a dedicated changing table, but if you've decided to go that route, consider using an underutilized corner. Using corners effectively is often a conundrum, but this unit by Badger Basket fit snugly into a corner and also allows your baby to face you which is both more ergonomic and enjoyable.

Yes, that's right, June is National Potty Training Awareness Month, just incase you didn't know! It's coming to a close, so you've got one more week to join in the fun!

We just watched an interesting video on the Potty Training Debate, and how early is too early to start training right here.

Here's one fact we learned from the video: did you know that in 1950 95% of babies were potty trained by the time they were 18 months, while today less than 10% are?

Our space is small so we're attracted to multi-use items. We'd like to get rid of the Diaper Genie - it takes up space and it's an eyesore - and just use the trashcan in the bathroom for soiled diapers and wipes.

But our little open bin trashcan won't do for containing odor. Vipp's stainless steel wastebasket provides a great solution. We have coveted it since first seeing it in person years ago. The Vipp trashcans come with an inner bin for easy cleaning and a rubber ring to keep odors in. Its modern industrial vintage styling looks great in the bathroom. Comes in a variety of colors and sizes and starts at $255 here.

What do you do when you're on the go changing diapers- cloth diapers? You use a "wet bag" of course. What exactly is a Wet Bag ? Well- it's where you discreetly put that dirty cloth diaper when you're on the run. Lock in the smell in style with these pretty wet bags from Good Mama . More

No room for a changing table you say? Enter the Ubi Changing Table. This compact changer is the brainchild of Sue Wong, mechanical engineer-cum-designer. More

Everybody poops! But not everybody has such a stylish potty bench to help them figure out this whole potty training thing. More

MoMamas wrote to us about the Diaper Valet and asked us to give it a try. It's now part of the standard gear we use for short outings with baby.

The Diaper Valet is a small bag that holds a few diapers, a travel pack of wipes and a small changing pad. There's an inner pocket for credit cards or cash and metal ring for keys.

We tried one with a short handle which looks like a cute purse. More

So, we were home sick on Friday and happened to catch the Oprah Show. She had a segment called "Moms who Made Millions" and one of the moms, Grace Welch, showcased her Patemm Pad, a round diaper changing pad named after her two children, Patrick and Emma. She explained that with her first child, she just found it so frustrating to try to keep him on the rectangular changing pad. And so, a little while later, the Patemm Pad was born. More
