Momformation: The Patemm Pad

Here's yet another little thing that I love, the Patemm Pad. It is a changing pad that every parent has to have! Even my husband loves it and usually husbands don't have an opinion on these kinds of things. When I asked him what baby items he couldn't live without, this was one (along with the Miracle Blanket). Basically, this thing is fabulous!

Livin' Large:
This pad is round and 30 inches in diameter. Moms and dads have plenty of space to change a diaper. Even when your little one becomes not so little and loves to roll around, you will have a clean surface for them to roam. We've even used it as a play mat at the airport, doctor's offices, and at friend's houses.



Compact and Convenient:
The large pad folds up nice and tight into a neat little package with handles. Additionally, the inside of the pad has 4 pockets to store diapers, wipes, an extra outfit, or whatever you and your child may need.



Easy to Clean:
You can get a Patemm Pad in a laminated cotton or a non-coated cotton. Both can be machine washed and the laminated one can be easily wiped down with a cleaning wipe.

My husband loves that he doesn't have to take the whole diaper bag with him when heading to the bathroom. He can just grab the pad and Graham and scoot off for a change. It fits great in the front pocket of our diaper bag and leaves room in the big compartment for all other baby essentials.

Now, this bad boy retails for around $60. I had actually read about these during my pregnancy but couldn't bring myself to buy it, especially since the diaper bag I chose came with a changing pad. Luckily, Alex's cousin, Matt, got one for us as a gift after Graham was born. Once we began using it we realized that it was definitely a must have item!

I highly recommend this changing pad. Get one if you can, or ask for it as a gift-you won't regret it! In addition to the Patemm Pad website, you can find them on Amazon. I've also gotten some from the Baby Half Off website, although I've only seen them offer 1 fabric choice.
