14 Month old hates napppy change time.....

[Mrs Jak]

Oh hi!! That's the only problem with a name change isn't it? I hadn't been on here for a little while though and then when we found out we were pg again, I was back for more

Nice to know your new user name now Miss A looks a cutey in her tutu

[AliBaby]

I know what you mean. I kind of feel like I have lost my identity and I want it back! LOL!

Congrats again on the pregnancy. It is going so quickly!

[Mrs Jak]

Thankyou Yep, it's definately going quicker this time!

My almost 12mo is exactly like this....you almost have to pin him down just to get his nappy changed. The only things that will keep him still are inanimate objects like keys, wooden spoons etc My purse is a winner at the moment, he likes to take the cards out while I change him. Strange little boy.

[Ozziehoffy]

Oooooh yep, 13 month old and he kicks, screams, cries like a banchee!! I just get through asap so to minimise the damage to my ears and his throat lol. He even throws real tears in sometimes.

Maybe try pull up nappies instead of getting him to lay down?

same thing here, Bella is 20months and has been chucking major wobblies at nappy change time and also with dressing... not good at the moment with some runny teething poos and my white doona cover - blerk....

Hi allycat, how they love keys and bits and pieces He's over my wallet now though

Hi Ozziehoffy, yep we have real tears and banchee cries/screams too... It takes a lot of strength to keep this little monster from rolling away or getting a foot in his poo! :0

Hi Nic, it's a struggle with the risk of spillage isn't it...

Hi MM, good idea, though I think they do cost a bit more and he poo's about 3 times a day, so a lot of the struggle is when trying to wipe his bum...

DD was like this but grew out of it about a month ago - oh what a difference, phew! we survived!

The only thing that worked for me was having a box of contraband - stuff that she was never normally allowed to play with or things that she had never seen before - bulldog clips, elastic bands, spoons, nappy snappies, USB stick, roll of sticky tape, plastic sandwich bag full of coloured plastic bits etc - and each change I would allow her to select something out of the box to look at, but if she mucked around during the change then I took it off her. I explained the rules and gave warnings but if she still continued, then I followed through. It worked as long as I kept the box interesting, and she was only ever allowed to play with them during nappy time so the novelty couldn't wear off.

Good luck!

Oh and I got very good at wiping a pooey bum while she was standing up if that helps!
