Help - Nightmare Nappy Changing
hi my 17 month old son, hates having his nappy changed, it really is a battle everytime, he screams hysterically & gets so worked up, he can't even calm down afterwards. He doesn't yet wear pull ups, but to be honest after a big pooh (& he does 4/5 a day), he has really to be layed down for a good wipe/clean. i tried to do it with him standing up, but its a disaster. i've tried on my lap, but he's so big now, he falls off & struggles all the time. i'm pretty much at the end of my tether with it & have tried all distractions, telling him to STOP, being nice & making it fun etc. Am totally fed up with it now & he's got nappy rash again, so i need to smother in him cream, which just ends up going everywhere. any suggestions. xx

Is he too small for reward incentives and sticker charts? Just a thought.
Keep your chin up. Hope it gets better soon.

My little one loves playing with my mobile phone too & when I got a new handset I gave her the old one. If it would settle him it would be worth asking friends & family if anyone had an old one lying around

If none of this works what about taking him to bathroom, emptying poo from nappy into toilet and get him to stand in bathroom whilst you use toilet wipes to clean him and the he could flush the loo.
