How does F14 do it?

Altreed · October 2014

It is a serious accomplishment to get a diaper on this wiggle worm anymore. I know it seems like a silly discussion, but I can't be the only one doing battle. Tips? Tricks? I have *minor* success trying to distract him with a toy but he still wants to roll to hands and knees right away.

We struggled with this as well. Toys helped, or singing energetically. After a while she stopped trying to flip over every time. Or try enlisting your DH's help.

I do diaper changes on the floor now so if she rolls she won't get hurt. I have a toy that lights up and makes sounds, and has crinkly wings that she likes to chew on. It's our diaper changing toy

DH gives her a peg to chew on (from a Melissa and Doug toy where you hammer the pegs through the holes).

Oh, and I make sure I have everything ready to go so I can work quickly

Sorry, I have no advice. I keep some small toys in the diaper basket to try and distract him. The most successful is his rubber ducky but if he really wants to roll then we have a wrestling match that usually ends in someone crying.

I do a lot of changes with LO standing up in the crib. He stopped rolling for a while, but has started doing it again. I'm afraid this is just the new normal

Haven't tried singing yet. Thanks @JammersC and @lbliss. I like the idea of handing him a clean diaper @bookshelves. I agree with working quickly @ramfan05. Like @bookshelves says, I think of it like a pit stop at a race

It is a huge battle over here too. I try to give him his pants to hold or another diaper. That sometimes works.

nothing over here works. i give him clean diapers to play with, toys, songs, i try and do it quick change. nope. LO ALWAYS rolls around and flips over and its a mess. even worse if i need to use diaper rash cream because it ends up EVERYWHERE. i fail at diaper changes :-q

I have a toy that he only gets to play with during diaper changes. The novelty of not seeing the toy in his regular play helps. I also have an old remote with no batteries. He feels like he has achieved something as he never gets to play with the remote otherwise.

Toy, peek a boo using a burp cloth, music, prayer.

With DS1 he was so bad I tired everything. I put a mobile on the changing table, would give him toys, clean diapers. I finally would just have to change him on the floor with one of my legs on top of him across his body to hold him down (sounds so awful, lol). ::::knock on wood :::: DS2 hasn't been as bad about it, I can just give him a clean diaper and make funny noises.

Exactly this! Everything else fails for us.

Over here too! Diapers are perfect distractors!

The wipes packet works for us...and saying over n over again "Are you the wet wipe dispenser?" in an irritatingly high pitched voice!
Any toy that makes a sound is usually good too...but only long enough to get a new diaper on, the clothes I have to out on after she's rolled and mid crawl!
