Diaper changing tables and methods of using thereof
A changing table includes a wall assembly and a tray assembly. The wall assembly includes a transparent panel, a reflector, and a UV light source disposed in between. The tray assembly is pivotally attached to the wall assembly, forming a changeable angle α in between. The tray assembly includes a front panel and a cushion layer. The cushion layer forms a concaved surface that receives an infant. The concaved surface receives UV light generated by the UV light source.
