Nappy changes

6 replies

Hello all,
Would really appreciate peoples tips or opinions.

My daughter is nearly 2, and it’s got to the point where I am struggling so bad to change her nappy. She will absolutely scream, shake, Trevor, and gets into such a bad state it’s almost impossible to change, and it’s just so horrible to watch her get this upset.
Is this normal or should I be worried ?
She does go to nursery 3 days a week, and when I’ve asked them they say she cry’s but she’s ok. I’m not really sure where to go from here? Any advise would be appreciated
Thank you

I just let my 2 year old stand. It's so much easier. Do you use pull ups? I find them a lot quicker to put on.

Not sure about the crying though. Maybe she just really doesn't like it.

Even when I get her to stand up,
She is exactly the same,
She never used to have a problem really with nappy changes but as she’s getting older it’s getting worse :/

Are they ready for potty training and fighting because they want to be independent?

I find standing up and pulls up much easier. I also sort of explain/give warnings so 'oh your nappy is getting full of wee, we'll need to change that in a moment won't we' etc seems to help.

Also getting them to do jobs like get the wipes out the packet for you if they are particularly restless... usually means trying to shove have a packet back in after but better than screaming and crying!

I was going to suggest pull ups. I'm about to switch my 15 month old to them as I'm fed up with the screaming, kicking and thrashing about every nappy change.
Does she have a doll you could encourage her to do nappy changes on herself? You could do the dolls at the same time so she feels a bit more in control.
Has she had any problems with nappy rash or soreness that might make her feel quite sensitive?

Pull ups
Put the TV on
Or potty train - exactly how old is she and when we’re you thinking of starting potty training.

Potty train! I took a heel to the cheekbone during a bum change and decided it was time to potty train at 23 months. Used the Oh Crap book and it went surprisingly well. We're about 6 weeks in and rarely get an accident and she's good at taking herself off for a pee. If it doesn't work you can always go back to nappies. Not sure if it's related but my daughter has seemed so much more independent in other ways too since potty training.

I bought some pull-ups a few months before that and actually found them even harder to get on her.
