R is almost 12 months old and it's a crapshoot whether she'll lay still for a diaper change or alligator roll.
-
Uh yea. I'd like to know too. I find that if I give him something he *isn't allowed* he will look at it and contemplate it long enough for me to change a dipe.
-
Not anytime soon! (Says mom of a 14 month old ...) sorry!
-
It's tough!! Once the kids could stand up, we switched to doing diaper changes standing up and they had no more objections!
-
@.twist.: haha, maybe I'll hand her my iPhone. I sing to her, give her toys, etc. but what she will stay still for depends on the minute.
-
When the changing table, you and the baby are covered in poop and you all need a bath? That's when it seems to end for me.
-
At 12 months, it's actually a teensy bit better-the last couple of months were crazy on the diaper front! If we're at home, I do let him run around and air out for a little while, if it needs to be done quick, he will lie still for Sesame Street on my phone...
-
Getting a little better these days. Give her a book to read each time.
-
@mrbee: haha my best friend just told me she started doing dipe changes with him standing up holding on to a table. I'm contemplating this myself.
LO is 10 months and dipe changes are increasingly more difficult. She just wants to be on the move. Like @.twist.: I try to distract with special items that typically are off-limits.
-
This drives me CRAZY!
-
@Smurfette: a book! Genius!
-
Sigh. It got better for a while around 16 months and now at 20 months it is bad again!!
-
Another master of the alligator death roll. For diaper changes and clothes. E wrestling occurs at least four to five times daily. Call for schedule.
-
@swedishfish: she came up with it! Every morning she points to the bookshelf so I get her out and she grabs one. I noticed those sessions go better, even with having to put sunscreen on and changing her outfit. Doesn't work everytime but it helps!
-
@Espion: hahahaha
-
Its worse at 14 months than it was previously, we wrestle until all is wiped then put the new diaper on while standing.
-
We also use books during most diaper times… also a little photo book of extended family members. She really loves that!
-
It's bad - LO is 20 months. Sometimes it takes various bribes and two of us to get the job done. I try to grab a book and ask him to find something in the book and that distracts just long enough to get the job done! Haha
-
We switched to huggies slip ons and do all changes standing up. It's been a godsend.
There are still days, but 90% of the time, it's quick and painless.
-
@swedishfish: oh yea, sometimes I give him the most random things. iPhone, penatan container, Tylenol bottle (momwin!), keys, plastic hanger.... Haha it seems to work.
-
Still going strong at 17 months. At 15 months it got A LOT better but it's still a 50/50 shot whether he will my little angel or possessed by an evil spirit.
@swedishfish: Good luck!
@.twist.: We use random things as distractions, too - nasal aspirator, keys!, medicine bottles (instant rattles), paper towels (good for ripping into tiny little pieces), oral syringes, etc.
-
Lo was doing pretty good but in the last 2 weeks or so it's gotten bad again (almost 21 months)
