Angel we stopped using the change table for that reason, and now we do changes either on the floor or on the ottoman in the lounge room & I sit next to Matilda. As my belly has gotten bigger, its gotten easier to kick at. Like the others have said I often almost ignore the kicks and praise her when her legs are down. I say "How easy was that? What a good girl you are for helping mummy out & leaving your legs still... lets go & play with .... now!" She now sometimes tries to kick me somewhere else like on my leg & says "no baby kick mummy" because I asked her not to kick mummy in the belly, that was where the baby is.
