We’ve been asked by Pampers to find out about the biggest nappy change-time challenges that Mumsnetters face! To celebrate Baby-Dry Nappy Pants, Pampers want to hear about your little one’s changing-mat moves…take a read below and share a comment, photo or video of your LO’s signature change-time move to be in with a chance of winning a 6-month supply of Baby-Dry Nappy Pants and a £200 John Lewis voucher!

Here’s what Pampers has to say about Baby-Dry Nappy Pants:
"When your little one is between six and eight months old, you may well notice a change in their movements... what started as a little ninja twist has suddenly turned into a lightning-fast commando crawl across the carpet, a Houdini-esque baby roll, or a beautiful bottom-shuffle! You’ll know then that one thing’s certain; change time isn’t going to get any easier!"

"Nowadays pants aren’t just for potty training – in fact more and more parents are telling us they prefer a pants-style nappy for everyday use with younger babies, because they’re so easy to put on and change - unlike taped nappies, you can put them on with one pull. So, if you’re contending with a professional mover, or a groover, it’s time to make the change and leave the wriggle wrestle behind, with Pampers Baby-Dry Nappy Pants!"

"So, what makes Pampers Baby-Dry Nappy Pants so good for wriggly babies? They have an all-around 360 degree fit stretchy waistband and flexible leg cuffs, so they are easier to pull on even when your little one is moving around. They also feature a unique Extra Sleep-Layer, which quickly absorbs wetness for up to 12 hours of overnight dryness, and Micro Pearls™ which absorb up to 30 times their weight and lock wetness away. In fact, Pampers Baby-Dry Nappy Pants contain the same innovations & features that are in your favourite taped Pampers nappies – so your little one can enjoy all of the benefits of Pampers best dryness, comfort and fit in an easy to use pants style!"

"So, from the first wriggle, try Pampers Baby-Dry Nappy Pants – it’s as easy as one-two-three!

Step 1: Slip your baby’s legs in and pull the pants up and on. Step 2: To change, don’t fear a wriggle-wrestle; just tear the sides. Step 3: Roll the pants up, stick the tape in place and you’re all done!"

My little one is a kangaroo kicker! He's only 3 months old but kicks like crazy when doing his bum change

My son are daughter were good babies and just sat there 95% of the time!

Pampers Pull ups are a great daytime option for my 7 month old. He's discovered his toes when lying on his back so keeping him still enough to whack a nappy on is impossible. He loves holding on to something and standing though, so pulling on a pull-up is a cinch - especially when we are out and about. No more rolling around on grotty cafe or shop toilet floors for him if there are no adequate changing facilities on offer! He can just step into his pull-up with me supporting him standing on the counter between sinks, or even on my lap - and away we go!

Genius. The usual benny hill style nappy changes where i need 2 extra pairs of hands are almost a thing of the past. The ease of getting them on has decreased tantrums screaming fits tears and snotty noses by 90% which is a good thing because that is not a good look on a grandma 😂 Well done pampers very good addition to my war chest.

mine were runners, constantly chasing them around the house

I'm actually thinking of using the pull up pants as my toddler seems to pull down his nappy every time he needs a nappy change.

My daughter has my 19month old Grandson Jake that would love 6-month supply of Baby-Dry Nappy Pants& John Lewis vouchers would be nice too

These weren't around when my two were babies. I soon became adept at changing with one hand whilst preventing them from getting away.

Mine used to stiffen up their whole bodies so that you couldn't get to their bum to clean them. They would then try to twist out of my hands.

My baby is definitely a wriggler, never keeps still

This is my 23 month old. She doesnt want to lie down to have her nappy done. She stiffens her body and tries to slide away. I have to bribe her with simething and be mega quick when doing her nappy. Pullups would be perfect for her now I think I will try them!

Glad to read that I am not alone in managing a wriggling worm when changing! I have perfected the art of changing a nappy while;

• LO crawling away..
• LO rolling over onto tummy & ignoring me completely!
• LO pulling himself up to standing.. I've worn the knees out on several pairs of jeans pursuing him though!!

Its funny you should call it wriggle 'wrestles' because sometimes it feels like a wrestling match (when they are not peeing on you!)
So I usually go for a pin to the shoulders proceeded by (a gentle) full body slam

Crikey, where do you start with this one. I have been pooed, wee'd on as has the wall for those projectile moments so many times !!!.

My son used to flip over all the time when I was changing his nappy, I had to have octopus hands to contain him at times, not to mention trying to avoid him weeing on me too.... oh fun/stressful times!

My son learnt to roll quite early and had not stopped moving since. He is now a year and walking and climbing so nappy changes are a nightmare. I tend to what I can with him in mid air and then normally have a few attempts trying to get a nappy on him!

I have 3 little ones, my 3 year old thinks it's hilarious to make a sprint for freedom when it's taken me so long to get hold of her & convince her to lie still for me enough to quickly whip her nappy on. My 2 year old twist, turns, kicks her legs, tries to get up & even tries to raise her legs over her head & tries to do a backwards roll in order to get out of nappy changing. My 7 months old baby kicks her legs, tries to roll side to side & tries to lift the bottom up & down. Overall nappy changing for me is no smooth operation & whole lot of chaos.

Yes, this is my life right now!

DC1 wasn't as wriggly or adventurous so from what I remember I got away with it, but I have to think of new distractions with DC2 to keep them on their back (I can't do the standing up nappy change at all!).

DC2 likes to flip and commando crawl away, or sometimes sit bolt upright, then try to stand. If I try and stop them halfway through a change, they'll make a grab for their nappy tabs and undo them instead. DC2 can be very trying at nappy changes!

DS was already a wriggler and had just got to the running away and refusing to lie down long enough to get both tabs done up stage when we went on holiday to Asia for a few weeks. We bought some nappies there that were pull ups. They were SO MUCH EASIER!! No more weeping on the carpet!! When we got home I was pretty disappointed there wasn't an equivalent here but our first trip to the shops after we got back I saw that pampers had brought out the pull ups while we had been away! The best bit is you can easily get them on whilst he is standing up, so he doesn't even need to lie down for changes anymore if it's just a wee. The worst is that because they are stretchy he can pull his willy over the top of them

I definitely sympathise with the wrigglers but fortunately my DD used to be quite good at lying still for the change... maybe it was the toy that I gave her to play with.

Crawling away would be quite nice- I have to chase DS round the room to catch him first! I the pretend to cuddle while deftly lying him down, all the time keeping one hand firmly placed on his belly. During the change I'm quite often called upon to counter his death roll in order to wipe then reposition hand to stomach so I can do nappy up again.

Pants sound great!

I find these are great for girls but you have to check their willie is pointing down if they are boys. From experience I've managed to get their t shirts and sweaters wet. However, they are easier than nappies for little wrigglers.

My DCs were all wrigglers, learnt to be quick!

It came as a shock to me when my daughter first started the wriggling as until then I honestly thought I was a nappy pro. I did find pants easier as they sort of trapped her legs a bit to help me unlike nappies

My first baby isn't here yet (due in June!) but I've loved reading these stories. Thanks for the tips ladies!
