Ella has always been very wiggling while having her nappy change...but lately it has been a nightmare. As soon as I lie her down and start changing her nappy she crawls away and if I try again she just starts crying until the new nappy is on. Have tried distracting her, but most of the time it doesn't work.
Someone please,please tell me like everything else....this is just a phase and it won't last until she is toilet trained.
God, I have this already with Tom. If DH is home we both pin him down otherwise as soon as thenappy is off he goes rigid, straight and starts to roll over. If he rolls over...he's off!
See I knew I wasn't the only one in nappy changing hell!!!! I have had to start restraining Sam with my leg to stop her getting up and wandering off - usually with clean nappy in hand!
Oh dear - I hope this doesn't go on for another year Have not quite resorted to putting the change mat on the floor, but try putting DD on her back for more than 2 seconds.... and she tries to flip over onto her tummy and onto hands and knees - or else she really starts to cry!
And yet not long ago I was complaining that she didnt like tummy time and was not on her tummy enough
When Michaela went through that stage I used my leg across her chest to pin her down while I changed her nap - very effective - and also gave her little chores (like holding the baby wipes/nappy powder).
Wellllllll...Blake STILL gives us a bit of grief when doing the whole nappy business and he is strong and weighs heaps..Its SO exhausting.
The only things I do is give him something to play with and or...HOLD HIM DOWN with my legs sort of.
Hopefully maybe soon it will sink in that nappies need changing and not to bother fighting!
I found that the change table works well and distracting too. Toys only lasted a few seconds before being thrown away but a clean nappy is a great distraction for me. Also a photo in a frame works well. My wee boy still wriggles but he is slowely getting better now that he understands what I am trying to tell him to do. There is light at the end of this tunnel!
