I like pull-ups for this. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/changing-baby-standing-up#post-1033022 Wed, 21 Aug 2013 07:51:21 +0000 Mrsbells 1033022@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I see some of my friends do this but I just prefer to lay her down so even if she screams I try to distract her </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/changing-baby-standing-up#post-1033017 Wed, 21 Aug 2013 07:48:13 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 1033017@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@BelugaBean: I don't know either. Just thinking out loud. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/changing-baby-standing-up#post-1033007 Wed, 21 Aug 2013 07:43:57 +0000 BelugaBean 1033007@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@littlek: I've tried that and she freaks out and screams. I actually have to do that while standing anyway (give her a toy and sing/talk to her). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/changing-baby-standing-up#post-1033000 Wed, 21 Aug 2013 07:42:33 +0000 littlek 1033000@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I usually change LO while he's laying down but I sing to him and give him a toy to distract him. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/changing-baby-standing-up#post-1032970 Wed, 21 Aug 2013 07:28:41 +0000 Thenetexan 1032970@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our MDO only changes standing up. They learn to help pull their pants down and undo the diaper to prepare for potty training. I just don't understand how that works for cleaning up after a dirty (poopy) diaper. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/changing-baby-standing-up#post-1032871 Wed, 21 Aug 2013 06:29:38 +0000 BelugaBean 1032871@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Lemon-Lime: I guess I never really thought about it. </p> <p>She's 13 months and we've only had four accidents without a diaper on her entire life. Could that be a sign too? I feel like 13 months is too young? We were going to start trying around 18 months. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/changing-baby-standing-up#post-1030811 Tue, 20 Aug 2013 08:53:10 +0000 cascademom 1030811@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've been changing LO standing up occasionally. While he plays after drinking his bottle, I slowly undress him. Then, I do the diaper. I'm really good at getting him undressed before a bath standing up because he likes the tub. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/changing-baby-standing-up#post-1030742 Tue, 20 Aug 2013 08:28:24 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 1030742@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have seen people change their LOs standing up. Could this be a sign she is ready for potty training? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/changing-baby-standing-up#post-1030643 Tue, 20 Aug 2013 07:35:32 +0000 BelugaBean 1030643@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I will say that, now that I'm used to it, I'm pretty good at changing her standing up. I just thought it was going to be a phase but apparently that's just how things are going to go now. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/changing-baby-standing-up#post-1030637 Tue, 20 Aug 2013 07:33:04 +0000 heffalump 1030637@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My MIL was a preschool teacher and director so she was constantly changing diapers and swears by the standing up method. She says it's much easier and quicker. She tried with LO though and it didn't look so easy..... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/changing-baby-standing-up#post-1030611 Tue, 20 Aug 2013 07:18:10 +0000 looch 1030611@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I used to do it reguarly, I got quite good at it, especially when we are out, some of those tables are so grungy and in airplanes, they're just too short! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/changing-baby-standing-up#post-1030609 Tue, 20 Aug 2013 07:17:46 +0000 autumnlove 1030609@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hmmm, I've never tried this! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/changing-baby-standing-up#post-1030608 Tue, 20 Aug 2013 07:17:26 +0000 winniebee 1030608@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I only do this if all else fails. If he is particularly bad I put him on the floor and I sit next to him when my leg on his chest so he can't flip. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/changing-baby-standing-up#post-1030605 Tue, 20 Aug 2013 07:15:34 +0000 BelugaBean 1030605@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My LO hasn't let us change her laying down for a couple of months now. I thought maybe this was normal but it doesn't seem to be. She screams if I lay her down so I just let her stand and play with a toy while I change her. It works for us (although we've talked about moving the changing table since we can't use it). The only part that doesn't work as well is when we have to change her in public.</p> <p>Does anyone else's LO do this? I feel like we look crazy to other people. </p>
