Reasoning with a 10 month old.. (nappy changing content) – Page 2 – Chat Forum

This is my first time exploring the wisdom of the hive mind for parenting.. so bear with me.. Our daughter is 10 months old and ever since she has been able to roll over and more recently crawl (faster than I had imagined!) trying to change her is an absolute mission and a half.. We've tried a few things but distraction seems to have been working up to now.. give her a toy (something she hasn't played with before/much) and try to buy 30 seconds to swap the nappy.. However, at the moment you get about 1 second before she twists/rolls over/crawls off/etc. Took me over 10 mins this morning before going out for work.. it's at the stage now where it's a two person job. If it's a number 1 then it's manageable but number 2s are a different matter.. Obviously trying to reason with a small baby is not going to work.. if she just stayed still for a minute it would all be done and dusted without the crying and me trying to restrain her! Any tips, tricks, things that have worked with your kids? My wife is at her wits end being the main nappy changer on mat leave. Cheers Nick

If you think she’s bad now just wait til she’s 15, then try reasoning with her 😀

If you think she’s bad now just wait til she’s 15, then try pinning her to the floor with your legs

This doesn't work either

I have to sit on our lad. On the floor - one leg across his belly. Change the nappy between my legs (that sounds wrong!!)
