NCN!!!! (Nappy Changing Nightmares)

DS screams blue murder when I wash his face/hands after each meal too- I hate doing it, but dont have a choice either!

We had the same problem with wiping face and hands until I left DH to babysit one day. I asked whether DS screamed when he washed him and he said nope not a bit. And that was because he pulls him out of his highchair, sits him on the edge of the sink and then runs his hands under the tap in the sink and uses a flannel to wash his face. DS LOVES the running water and now never cries when he's getting washed up. Helps that it's summer so he's always in just a body suit with no pants or socks on so doesn't matter if his feet get wet while the tap is running.

We have the issue re washing face/hands, I normally try to distract her for that too, or wash her by the sink! Good distraction!

Glad I'm not the only one with a stubborn baby at change time! I often just start to feel anxious at the thought of changing her nappy, especially more so if it's poo's.

I also get nervous about changing her nappy in public, if she decides to be difficult. As I too, worry people will think I'm being mean and say something about it. I find nappy pants good, except when it's poo's, as the treasures ones don't redo up like the huggies. But they are good for the speed aspect and making change time a little less stressful. DD also likes to try run away when I have her nappy off and on a few occasions has pee'd on the floor. She does the same when I want to dress her. It sux so much when you lie them down and they scream blue murder. Anyone would think you were torturing them. Well I guess for mobile babies, being held down and stopped from getting around is like torture to them. She often resists the car seat and pram as well.
