Any tips for wriggly nappy changes?

DD is 9mo and wriggles, rolls over and tries to crawl when she's on the changing mat. I realise this is quite normal, but it's a bit of a nightmare - does anyone have any tips to make it easier?

The only thing is distraction really. DD is 14 months and a nightmare for it, the minute both hands are off her she's flipped over and is crawling away! I have to give her the baby wipes to play with and pull out which usually keeps her happy for just long enough. If that doesn't work then I make it into a game/tickle her, takes longer but it works!

Ah yes, the wipes are a bit of an attraction at the moment!

Knee on the chest to hold her down

I used to find a game of peekaboo with a muslin worked quite well for distraction....put it over her face and then whip it off etc. Failing that just give her something interesting to play with whilst you do it.....something that she doesn't play with the rest of the time that you can reserve for nappy changes.
