How do I keep my bub still during nappy changes?

Hello!

My little one loves to wriggle around when I’m trying to change his nappy. Wondering if other mums have some handy tips or tricks I could try to keep him still.

I sometimes sit on the side and pop my leg over my baby’s torso – seems to work well

Its always a tough one but the only thing that worked for a short time was certain toys that they were only allowed to play with during nappy changes.

a good changing table with a raised edge and a toy to distract in their wee hands

Maybe hang a mobile just over the change table to distract your baby during nappy changes.

I would say distraction with a toy also.

Distraction ! Sing a song with your baby or give it a toy.

I tuck my little mans arms into his singlet. Fold his arms over his body and them pull his singlet up and over his arms. This keeps them contained for a little bit till he wriggles them out, just long enough for a nappy change.

Give your baby something to play with – anything really – to keep them distracted. Things that they aren’t normally allowed to touch (moisturising bottle, bum cream) are extra enticing for them (provided they can’t open it).
