Recently, I worked with a client that just had her second child. When she went into labor early and the room wasn't organized when the baby was born she became overwhelmed so she called me up to help.

We determined it was a waste of time hanging one piece outfits, so we folded all the clothes and only left the nicer outfits on hangers. We used the bins in the closet for various types of outfits. Since the bins are removable, the mom will be able to move the heaviest items to the top when it gets colder.
The changing table was next. Here is the changing table closed. On top, we put a bin for wipes, a row of diapers, and baby cream for a quick change.

This is where we put the needed tools for the baby, like the nail clippers. This is the upper drawer of the changing table. The bottom drawer had clothes that were not used very often at all, like pants.
