Really Pants

Little wriggler…..

I vaguely remember this stage with my son, although I must have blocked the nappy changing battles out of my mind for some reason…….. Changing Boo Boos nappies is becoming more and more difficult by the day, with some very messy nappies requiring two of us! Read on…

She will not lie still!  Giving her something she would not normally be allowed to play with to hold worked for about a week (her sun tan cream tube…..). Then we moved to a toy, then the floor where she could empty her shelf on her changing table of all of her nappies whilst lying.  Now none of these work…. Every change is a battle with her having tantrums and wriggling away, leading to flash backs of the experiences with her brother, which clearly were blocked from my mind!

The worst nappies for changing are the really dirty ones, of which we have at least three a day.  I have now perfected the rapid change and opt of Bumgenius as much as possible as velcro so much quicker to fasten.  I do dread the next change to see what state the liners were in when I unfasten……  Needless to say they have been some real disasters, and I hate to say that disposables were easier to use and less messy in these instances.  Would I go back to them on this basis????  NO WAY!!!!  Despite this, just purchased another six Bumgenius V3.0 in new colours to add to my collection having decided 32 simply not enough to allow for drying time when I am back at work……..

I love having strong willed children, despite the challenges!  Fortunately the challenges to come are firmly to the back of my mind, and no doubt flash backs will happen as soon as they occur…… First public tantrum still brings shivers to my spine at the thought never mind the actual detail!
