We have a mobile that hangs over the change table, E loves to watch the turtles spin, could you try a mobile above his head for distraction?

Works wonders!


I've witnessed this in action and can confirm it's effectiveness!

Some great suggestions!

We have a mobile (helicopters that hang down one by one by nylon? Looks really neat too!) and DS stares at that spinning around. We have it attached by one of those 3m hooks so that it won't mark the ceiling. Although we own our house, DS' room is freshly painted and we have holes all over the house where we have put things up so wanted to keep one room free of that! The hook has worked so far.

I also give DS a toy to play with to keep him occupied.

Good luck

I had the same thing with DS at that age - he was diabolical! I found and empty panadol packet quite effective as distraction for a while.

Like someone else mentioned though, he did seem to grow out of it - most of the time these days he's fine to change.
