Desperately need ideas to keep 1 y.o still @ nappy change time!

Yep, stubborn is right lol. He rarely does anything we ask, everything has to be on his terms.
for nappy changes at best that means you can take the old nappy off but your not putting a clean one on. If I was living in a house that wasn't almost completely carpeted I'd just let him go nudey lol

DD2 giving me grief this morning so I just snapped the nappy together and put it on like a pair of nickers. She seemed to think that was quite funny. I'm even thinking about making up some training knickers that are essentially nappies but aren't as adjustable so she thinks I'm putting big girl knickers on...

Is that with mcn's? There's no way I could do that with a sposie it just wouldn't sit right lol.

Ah, so you're after a *nice* way to do it. Good luck with that ...

Yeah, that!

If you have a lively one, I don't really think there are nice ways......

[Calluna]

surely there's some hope?

I dont remember any of the daycare kids being like this...

I have a child who went through this stage. I did have some like it when I worked in child care too- but generally children don't muck up to the same extent with carers as they do with Mum- its one of the joys of being your child's 'safe person' who they can test all of life limits with.

I generally offered board books, spun the mobile above his head, pinned his top half down with one arm and /or changed him in front of the TV. He's a lot easier now. It will pass!
