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

[Mrs Jak]

I've tried distracting him with toys, singing, saying a loud and firm 'NO', a little tap on the leg (hurt me more than him) and I don't know what else to do to help at nappy change time?

Nearly every nappy change he cries or screams and tries to roll away. Probably 1 in 5 is not a bad experience...

Is this just one of those battles that you just have to live with?

I have a 14mth old and am battling the same thing here. That and getting dressed is just a nightmare. I have tried all distractions as well. Only about 1 a day works. Hope they stop this phase soon

Hi BellaB, thankyou for helping me to not feel alone Yep, getting dressed here is a real joy too, NOT!!

DD1 was like that. I dreaded nappy change times. I tried everything too, including turning the TV on to distract her. But nothing worked, she just eventually grew out of it. It's hard when your pregnant though isn't it?

yep, went through that with both of mine....DS still has his moments.
I tried distraction, singing, faces, toys, his sister....in the end it's so bad that sometimes I have to put one of his ankles in between my legs to hold him still (if he's on the bed) and on occasion I have had to hold his shoulders down with my feet so i could get a mega pooey nappy off....

Truely - it passes.

DD1 was the same and DD2 is now going through it too. She's almost 14 months. It is SO frustrating. But it does end eventually. Big hugs xx
