This is the topic I've been searching for! I wasn't going to make it through 30 odd pages of topics under babies, so I tried the search, and found it amongst the many pages of results for nappy changing.

My 9 month old boy has been getting progressively more difficult to change since he could roll, and it's getting worse. He does both the pooey willy grab and the crocodile death roll described by Kelly, as well as the thing where he pushes with his feet, lifting his bum off the bed and propelling himself upwards. I've thought of gaffa tape, but might try Jo's sticky tape to play with idea, although he does have a tendency to eat things.

I hold him firmly by both ankles in one hand so I have the other one free to clean him up, having to guess the required number of baby wipes and get them out and unfold the clean nappy before I start. To wipe under the willy and in the foldy bits on the sides I need to bend his knees, and he's so strong it's very hard to do. Then when I've got the clean nappy under his bum and I'm trying to do it up, which takes 2 hands, he slides himself upwards and messes up the positioning of the nappy.

I'm going nuts with it!!!

I'd like a change table, but it would have to have shoulder straps to keep him still. For a toy to be interesting enough to distract him it needs to be something dangerous, edible, breakable etc that he's not allowed to have. Maybe it's something to do with being on our bed to be changed, which he associates with hurling himself all over the place.

If I find any answers I'll post them. Good to see others having the same frustrations. (That just sounds wrong doesn't it, but YKWIM)
