We also started stand up diapering and he does much better, it's just messy... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/please-help-me-regain-my-sanity-relating-to-diaper-changes#post-683685 Tue, 02 Apr 2013 08:41:25 +0000 mrbee 683685@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@littlek: How many times did you moo? You can't just moo once and go for the change... it has to be like a herd of cows mooing, one after the other (at least, that's what's required to distract Olive).</p> <p>Also, I use a throat moo... along these lines (although mine is not as good):</p> <p><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YutboRry7vI" rel="nofollow">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YutboRry7vI</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/please-help-me-regain-my-sanity-relating-to-diaper-changes#post-683666 Tue, 02 Apr 2013 08:35:34 +0000 littlek 683666@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrbee: The mooing was a fail... he looked at me like i was nuts and then flipped over....

I also make sure to sit him on the change table and let him pick a toy first BEFORE laying him down to avoid the crying fits. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/please-help-me-regain-my-sanity-relating-to-diaper-changes#post-683582 Tue, 02 Apr 2013 07:53:47 +0000 Myicitygirl 683582@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@nikol: my friend said her 10 month old doesn't really like it and will fight getting into it, but that once they get her in, she stops struggling.

Other tricks include: small hand mirror, toothbrush, rotating special toy she only gets during changes, singing, blowing on her face. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/please-help-me-regain-my-sanity-relating-to-diaper-changes#post-683276 Mon, 01 Apr 2013 21:45:58 +0000 BabyBoecksMom 683276@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrbee: @Freckles: thanks for the laughs tonight.

I had to buckler her down (tightly) a few times and now I just threaten it before she stops. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/please-help-me-regain-my-sanity-relating-to-diaper-changes#post-682303 Mon, 01 Apr 2013 14:19:51 +0000 pinkcupcake 682303@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I feel ya :( My lo is so difficult to change. I just try to distract her as much as possible - singing, iPhone (when all else fails this usually works), tv, remote, keys, etc. </p> <p>Sometimes I change her standing up. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/please-help-me-regain-my-sanity-relating-to-diaper-changes#post-682302 Mon, 01 Apr 2013 14:19:38 +0000 mediagirl 682302@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It is SO hard!!! I feel like I'm going to hurt her sometimes when she practically twists her body in half trying to get away from me. I zerbert her belly if it's bare, give her toys and let her play with the elusive cell phone to try and keep her calm. Some days these things work. Other days....nothing works. I think it's a phase. A long phase....(hopefully)? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/please-help-me-regain-my-sanity-relating-to-diaper-changes#post-682290 Mon, 01 Apr 2013 14:14:13 +0000 littlek 682290@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My LO is very hard to change, he is constantly flipping over. I've tried distracting him with a toothbrush, cell phone, remote, etc. Nothing seems to be working... please help, I dread diaper changes </p>
