Diaper Changing Struggle with 11 Month Old!

Hi, I wonder if anyone has ideas or suggestions to help me keep my 11 month old daughter still while I change her diaper! She is always trying to get away when I am trying to change her diaper. Not so bad if it is not poopy, but can be a big problem if is is! She has also started to reach down to grab herself while I am trying to clean her. I do try to have interesting toys or objects handy to give her, but most of the time it doesn't distract her long enough. I do not use a changing table, but I have an area on a twin bed that is in...

3 Year Old Won't Let Her Poop Come Out

My 3 year old daughter continues to have "poop" issues. She will basically hold her poop in until she cannot hold it anymore. In the meantime little bits come out over the course of the day in her underwear. If I catch her holding it in, I put her on the toilet and it comes out soft and easy. She is then so proud and happy, so I don't think she is scared of the poop leaving as I have read about. She is not constipated as she doesn't have to push or strain and the stool is soft. She is actually very uncomfortable trying to hold it in most...

Temper on the Changing Table

It sounds like a title to a new movie, doesn't it? Its all too real though, LOL. Anyway I was hoping for some advice for my soon to be 8 month old son, who couldn't be a more pleasant baby to be around except when on the changing table! This has been going on for about a week. I try giving a toy but he seems to be too upset to care. His mission, which he usually achieves, is to roll over on his stomach while I try to either just change a diaper or his clothes. I keep flipping him back but he arches his back and starts crying. I tried doing...

Full Body Cast

My daughter broke her femur 4 days ago. She is in a spica cast...from her ribcage all the way down to her left ankle, halfway down her right leg and a bar connecting the two legs with an opening in the diaper area. I am concerned about keeping the cast clean and dry esp. in the diaper area and I've come up with a way to wash her hair, but am open to any suggestions. Has anyone else had a child in one of these? She is 3 1/2 and has to be in it for 6 weeks. Since it goes all the way up to her ribs, she can't even sit up, so creative new...

How Do I Change Her Diaper? :O)

My 8 month old daughter has recently become very mobile (hasn't crawled yet) and has decided that she wants to try to move when I change her diaper. She ends up rolling around and getting up on her knees before I can even get the diaper off. I am good at having everything ready and getting it done fast, but now she moves so fast. I give her a toy, but she just ends up rolling over with it. I hold her feet up, but she turns around anyway. She is very flexible. :o) Any ideas on how to get that diaper and diaper cream on and keep her on...

How Can I Potty Train My 25 Month Old Daughter?

She still wears diapers but now with a 3 week old I am buying double diapers and I would love for her to be potty trained. Can anyone tell me what they did, how they did it, and how long it took? She tells me all the time that she pooped but she never did when she says that and she never tells me before. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Mama's

Taking Baby to the Beach!

We are taking our 10 mos old to Sanibel Island next month for not only his first beach trip, but his first trip of any kind. We will be flying and I wonder if anyone has any good suggestions for baby in flight and for the beach! We've packed ourselves for the beach many times, but never baby! I know there will be a million things we didn't think of! Also, because we are flying, it will be hard to take much big stuff...any suggestions or knowledge of places that may rent baby items short term?
