Horizontal of verticaal verschonen?

July 03, 2022 1 min read

What better choice is a horizontal or a vertical wall dresser. I hear that question regularly. And it's also a tricky one.

Both models are compact and, above all, space-saving. Of course, you can make a consideration based on space. Then the vertical wall changing table is the narrowest. This chest of drawers takes up the least surface area in wall space. In terms of thickness, this vertical changing table is thicker than the wall changing medium . But thicker than the wall changing medium. This one is quite thin when you fold it up.

Nice for your back

But there are also ergonomic considerations. What is better for your body after childbirth or cesarean section? I have raised the issue with the pelvic floor physiotherapist who works together with the NVFB (Dutch Association for Physiotherapy for Pelvic Problems and pre- and postpartum health care).

Advice to change vertically after a cesarean section

At the hospital, she teaches maternity women to change their baby vertically. This is because you are right in front of the changing table and you do not have to turn your body. This puts minimal tension on the abdominal muscles. These should be relieved especially after childbirth.

If your child gets a bit bigger, he will become more and more mobile. You will notice that your child will not naturally stay on the changing table. With the vertical changing table you have less control over your child than with the horizontal changing table.

If you want to play completely safe on choose the wall changing table vertically .

My company was founded during my first maternity week. In 2016 I gave birth to my son, because of my delivery I suffered from pelvic instability where I was advised to walk as few stairs as possible. Joost, my husband, made the first model wall changing table as a maternity gift and hung it on the toilet so that I did not have to walk upstairs to change our son.
