Ah, it's very frustrating isn't it. DD Ian too bad, but I know most of my friends have had issues.
Do you offer a toy to hold? I do that, and I also give DD the pants/skirt that I've just removed and encourage her to play peek-a-boo. We do this so regularly now that I just drop the clothing on her face now and she looks after the rest! I also only keep her lying down for the essentials, and do the rest with her sitting up. If she's just nit in the mood I find reciting one of her favourite books much more effective than singing for some reason.
If I'm doing a complete outfit change I do it on her bedroom floor rather than on the change unit, and I let her stand up and hold onto her cot as she's much happier this way.
Ooooh I am SO there with you! Does she have something 'forbidden' that she absolutely LOVES but doesn't get very often?? My DS has a few of those things, one is the tube of bum butter, another is the red rubber lid cap thingy from his Take & Toss Cups (that probably made NO sense at all, so just take my word for it hehe) and when we lay him down and he starts cracking a fuss, we give him one of these and my gosh the happiness on his face! He would let us happily change 10 nappies while he lies there playing with his 'forbidden' something.. It's obviously not a long term fix, I am sure he will get over them sometime but for now, makes nappy changes ALOT easier and hopefully by the time he is finished with being fascinated byt them we're into Pull Ups or something?
DS also HATES being put on the change table after his bath to be dressed for bed, so we always save a quarter of his dinner bottle for this time and while we're moisturising him, popping a nappy on and doing up his buttons, he is drinking his bottle...
Not sure if I have helped with anything, you've probably tried everything so I'll send you a big hit of LUCK as well! I know how frustrating it can be when even a 1 minute job takes 10 and is such an ordeal! I hope it gets better soon hun! xx
I gave up on the change table once he started moving about & do all changes on the floor. I give him something to hold (if its not a toy he's happier - he loves the remotes best) and occasionally I put my foot on his tummy to hold him down.
Yup, I'm with you!! Missy has in the past week just started this rolling around when changing. I do her nappy on the floor now on a change mat and then get her dressed on my knee where I can hold onto her!!
Little rascals!! Just wait till they are running around and we are chasing them trying to get them dressed LOL
oh sounds tricky! my DD is pretty good so I don't have many suggestions but one thing I do is throw her clothes at her...so I take a sock off, I throw it in her face, etc , etc she loves it!
i give jackson something naughty... atm it's a tube of marcallen cream. somtimes it's his amber necklace ><;;
it's terrible isn't it?! Just today jackson did a massive poo, and between trying to keep him still, and trying to keep his hands off his doodle, he managed to get it all thru his hair -.-;
Our ds was, and still is like this. We have tried giving him toys as well. Sometimes it's a book, a remote control or the TV, even the car keys a couple of times lol.. Lately we have been giving him some bum wipes and he wipes the wall down while we change him. Sometimes a bottle with a drink would work too. Nappies maybe? The last few weeks (and I realise my little man is a bit older in age) we have been showing him the shirt he will wear for the day, and he cuddles it while we change him out of his wet nappy.
