    cloth. there's a knack to it, though. And they have to stand still for x number of seconds.

    Also offering a choice of colour nappies helped. Or maybe a choice of colour pants/socks/toy to play with, if using sposies? Or they can pick which book they would liek to read after changing the nappy.

    I think the nappy change thing is largely about autonomy. They want to exert control over themselves and their bodies - so giving them a simple choice can help them feel they have control over something (just 2 options is better at this age).

    MadB - I have considered this, but... How do you clean the poo when they're standing?
