Changing Nappy is such a drama. anyone else?

[turtleschell]

DD just refuses to ever ever ever lay on her back, she flips over so fast, before I can even try to keep her down. Now I have to change her nappy by running after her with wipes, and hoping she doesn't smush everything into the carpet, her clothes etc. I practically cry with frustration every time.
And don't get me started on trying to put a nappy on. She is practically nappy free from 7am-7pm...
I've tried giving her special forbidden toys etc to play with but she just flips over straight away and plays with them in crawling position. I quickly sing songs etc, I feel like I've tried everything.
Anyone else have this issue and what do you do about it?

My nephew does that, I try to get him involved, I get him to hold the nappy, hold the wipes, lift his legs up etc. Not sure if thats any help

If you use disposables, maybe move onto Nappy Pants instead so she doesn't have to lay down? I know Elijah is a pain to change also! I think it depends on his mood lol. Mostly it involves him screaming blue murder and me just doing it all as fast as I can!

I use disposables when I desperately want her in the nappy, but I try to use terry flats.. I hate sposies
I don't know, my main issue is the cleanup being so difficult, I always get worried I haven't cleaned her properly.
She flips over before I've even removed my hand from behind her neck iykwim?? It's just immediate, and I've tried just holding her down, but I need both hands to do it, so then it's really square 1 again..

can you wear a funny hat or bunny ears? bubble blower?

give her special toy to hold? your mobile or a remote control?

You've been given some great tips, some I'll even try myself! Moo has hated having his nappy changed for months. He crosses his ankles, raises them up and then BAM! Whacks me on my wrists or hands! He'll also twist his body completely around if I hold onto his feet (to stop the previous issue) so he's practically dangling!
He screams and cries as if he's being totured, completely does my head in. I hope we both find a solution!

Oh I LOVE it! lol. Sometimes if I have INTG or Yo Gabba Gabba on DVD on for him and just whisper to him that I'm just going to quickly clean his bottom for him before I pick him up to lay him down.... sometimes.. that works ... but ahhh he is still a tough customer compared to Oskar who would just lay there for you lol.

In our house we sing Bum songs. That is - well known dramatic songs with "bum" replacing the words. Ie. Bum-bum-bum BUUMMM. etc or the star wars imperial march lol. Bum bum bum BUM bum-bum BUM bum bum... Gets his attention every time. Always worth a try.
