Diaper changing technique?

Question

I have a 7 month old very "busy" child! Everytime I change his diaper he grabs his private and squirms! I know it's natural for boys etc...my question is how (besides obvious restraint!) can I get him NOT to grab it & maybe lay a bit stiller when I'm changing a poopie diaper!!!??

thanks in advance!

Answer 1

Leave him be, its only natural for him to do this...

Answer 2

Every little boy learns very early to love his pee-pee.  Just make sure to clean his hand after he grabs it.  I've had 3 children, and the only way I was able to get them to be still was to let them play with things I normally wouldn't let them play with, ie. a roll of toilet paper, hair rubberbands, a spatula.  It's amazing how easily kids can be entertained by kitchen utensils.

Answer 3

give him a rattle to hold.even when boys grow into men they cant leave their willies alone lol.

Answer 4

hey(:

whenever i babysit ive realized that i have to give the child

a little toy to keep him from distracting me. it goes wayy quicker.

but if that still doesnt work you can always hold his hands while

you wipe his bottom & them let them go when your fastening the

diaper. :D

Answer 5

give him a small toy to keep him occupied.

Answer 6

I give my son a bottle so he is occupied drinking while I am changing him,

Answer 7

For mine, I turn on a fan and hand him a hair brush.  He LOVES them and only gets to play with it when he is getting his diaper changed.  Works like a charm for our squirmy wormy!

Answer 8

For my son I let him touch it when it's just a pee diaper, but when it's poopie I give him a special toy.  It's a toy that he only gets at diaper time.  Right now it's a plastic book that we put pictures of our family in.  That at least gives me enough time to get him clean.  I also wash his hands after a poopie just in case he got any on him.  

Answer 9

6. Powder him down

7. And close...

Answer 10

Give him a toy to keep him occupied.

Answer 11

Definitely give him a new toy. It is natural to do it, since he is a boy. But yes playful restraint is ok just don't let it become a routine, because he will keep trying to do it just to see if you will stop him. Changing poopie diapers for 7 month olds is never a easy task but keeping him occupied is the best idea. Hope this helps.
