    I use a tall storage unit from Ikea. It's called Trofast and holds 6 big plastic bins. I labelled each bin with each child's name. I store extra stuff in the change table.

      I use a regular kitchen cabinet. It holds 6-8 kids diapers straight across the bottom. The shelf above that holds each childs wipes container. Also fits two extra wipes containers for gloves and one for little "poop bags".

      I would also consider (like some one else said) mounting the shelving unit you have sideways above your changing table. I have done that in my bathroom to hold towels and love it!

      I also use a shoe organizer like above for my little things and changing mats for each child. Its on the wall right next to the table

        You can't see it in this pic, but I keep my wipes on the wall in one of the Cottonelle Flushable wipes containers that comes with a hanger. I have to trim the wipes a smidge to fit, but it is worth it to me for the convenience.
        OMG, I love that!!!! I am not a fan of the big plastic stuff, LOL, and that would go perfect!! Where would I find something like that??

          I could try mounting it on the wall but would have to remove the door and I'm afraid at 12" deep it is too deep for coming out of the wall - I don't want it to hinder me getting the kids on and off the changing table, you know?

            I had this one from my pre daycare days, I think I got it from a catalog at the time (for cheap!). I see similar things though in a lot of stores like Hobby Lobby or Target. Usually in with office furniture or home accents. It was called a Decorative Wall Mounted Mail Sorter or Mail Organizer or something like that.

            And I lied, it is actually holding more like 8 diapers in a row .

            Attaching another pic so you can see it a bit more clearly. This pic has my wipes holder too.

              Ok, Kim... now you have me searching all over for a holder like that and I haven't found one yet!! I found one all metal one that might work but it was about $50 so I'm holding out hope to find something else.

              I'm also looking for those baskets that hang on a rod (looks like a curtain rod) - I know I've seen them before but now that I'm looking I can't find them anywhere!!

                Well phooey! Trying to find one now too, I love a challenge.

                Linking to a couple of other ideas for ya





                I found one similar to mine doing an image search on an old Collections Etc webpage for 14.99, but it's no longer available You may want to keep checking their site though. I actually think it was one of their catalogs I got mine from.

                  thanks, I did see that wooden one with the canvas baskets but its too long for my space!

                  I think I'm going to do a towel bar horizontally across the wall the table is on and hang baskets from it. A friend did it in her bathroom and it looks cute!

                    I saw picture of that one with the fabric bins mounted vertically as well. I think the baskets can fit both ways on the pegs.

                      Ikea has a lot of those criss cross wall hangers which can be of great use. you can then hang diapers on them but that would not be that hygienic as you expose them to the open when not in use. They also have those labeled plastic containers which can help you organize things. But if you have no option, shelves you can attach to the wall will be your simplest solution.

                        Photo explains better. They are originally designed to hold CD's.

                        Hubby bolted the towers to the wall. Each child has a labelled shelf for their diapers. My changing table is actually built over the tub which is opposite the sink area.

                          need another idea... was trying to do something like this but it just doesn't work for something that gets heavy usage - think its better for something more decorative.



                          now I need another plan. LOVE the magazine/mail rack thing but can't seem to find one. found some cute metal "vegetable" baskets on pinterest but they are $35 each and I'd probably need 2-3 of them.

                          What other ideas are there for hanging diaper supplies on the wall????

                            OMG! I love this idea! I use plastic 3 drawer organizers as cubbies, but this would be so much easier!! Also, what is the other thing on the wall? Is that your changing table???

                              I use a shoe organizer that hangs on my bedroom door. When diaper change time comes along, I go grab a diaper for each kiddo. Works Awesome! Each kid gets a row so I label each row with their name.

                              Edited to ad it is a vinyl type thing that is designed to hold a pair of shoes. It holds about 8 diapers in each slot. Pretty handy!

                                I guess I just want something prettier than a shoe organizer. I saw this but its still not exactly what I'd like.
