Have you tried a changing pad with a belt? He'd still be able to squirm but he'd be kind of restrained. I can't imagine he could make to much of a mess if it's snug enough on his waist.

Haha I had the same problem

get a loonnng belt from like, the mens dept at walmart.. And use it like the changing stations in public restrooms.. Take it under the changing table and then up around .Trace. It wont completely stop him but he wont be able to move enuf to get crap everywhere.

Landon loves his diaper changed, even if its not wet or dirty and he's really mad, i'll put him on his changing table and take off his diaper and he just smiles and giggles and stops being cranky lol hes a funny guy

You know what?,im going through the exact thing.He'll never stay put.Im so frustrated to the point that I dont even wanna change it.Especially his poo,because he gets its everywhere! We have one of thoes belt thingys and it didnt work for him.I dont know what eles to do

yeah just wait a few more months

Oh lord .Logan does the exact same thing. It is annoying as hell

it really tests my patience espcially when poo starts going everywhere. I just grin and bare it cause we don't have those strap changing mats (as far as I know)

Brayden does this too, he gets really mad at me. I always give him something he knows he's not supposed to play with, like my purse and that usually makes him stop real quick. He likes getting in my wallet and taking all the money out (not change) hahahaha.

Brayden knows when he has new things too, so I usually buy a bag of small toys and give him one when nothing else will help, he'll stop for a new toy anyday. And it's not expensive bag of toys or anything, just cheap nick nacks (that he cant choke on)

Lol. I need to try that .D! Layla's fave thing at the moment is somehow getting hold of my make-up and drawing on herself with it. She goes in my handbag all the time and takes it out. I put it on top of the wardrobe now so she's pi$$ed off!

Lmao, I think everyone has this problem!! Oni's been doin it since she was 5, almost 6 months.

I have a changing pad with a strap. She still twist and gets on her belly....But while i'm wiping, I grab her feet and lift em up. Try it, he won't be *able* to go anywhere.

It's funny, she gets soo frustrated cuz she *wants* something and can't get it cuz I got her feet.

It's like gator wrestling!

My duaghter has been doing the exact same thing since she was about 6 months old, no matter what I give her to look at, she's over it within seconds, and is a vertual houdini when it comes to wriggling around under the stupid strap thing on the changing table.
When I hold her feet, she just raises her bum up off the table, and twists- i'll still be holding her ankles, but i'll be getting the rear view.

I once heard a tip where you hold a balloon in your mouth and blow it up and then let it down and stuff to keep the babies attension- I did try it, but found I needed a hand to hold the balloon while I inflated t, and maeve just wanted to grab a hold of it and play with it herself- which I did let her do, figuring, hey, whatever keeps you still- but she realised within 5 seconds she couldn't blow it up, and was extra annoyed.

Maybe baloon in conjunction with belt, and some speedy wiping!!!
Plus- get used to it, maeve is now almost 13 months, and still fighting every change.

This thread has really made me laugh because my son is just the same and it can be soooo frustrating! His favourite habit is lifting his arse off the mat and doing loads of 'pelvic thrusts' while reaching round to grab the nappy i've just undone. He also likes to thrust his hands down to his butt and play with the sh*t, then looks at his hands like '"wow! How did that happen?!"

aaaaaaaaghhhhhhh!!!!

I'm sooooo glad that i'm not there yet. Yes!!!!!! You guys can figure it all out so when it happens to me I can just come back and search for this thread!

Someone told me playing a music box everyttime you change them is good for routine they know that 'this is the time to change my daper' who knows if it works tho...


I hate white cloud diapers.. The things leak for me all the time!

That is a normal stage. Distraction is key. Put pictures around the changing table and try to get him to focus on them or hand him a toy. Anything to keep him still. Flying crap is not fun!Lol hope it gets better soon! :d

get the .Target brand!! They're awesome! I gave away a whole pack of white cloud cuz they suck!!!!!

The .Target brand is care bears!! And it's only 5 bucks for the jumbo pack and 17 for a huge box! (and they don't leak!)

sarah

Damn it my roomie just quit there and she had a discount card thats still cheap. Someone gave me the white cloud too and now I know why!!

Hahahahaha..They suck balls!!

And there's another brand, "fitti", stay away!!

Target brand all the way!

Sarah

I just use huggies supreme. I signed up to get coupons in the mail at huggies' website. And I go to walmart or sams and buy cases.

Give him a toy to play with, on another not I always put a diaper underneath the one he wearing, rip off the other one and just tape the other one on. Wait till he starts pulling off his diaper and crap flies eveywhere!
