Changing a 1 year olds diaper!

Use pull-ups and problem would be solved in an instant. I get my daughter to prop her leg, one at a time, on my knee, to clean between thigh folds. I dare say it is a phase and when your child begins to understand what nappy changing entails, he would lie down dutifully to get his nappy changed. Otherwise you may wish to time his nappy-changing when you give him his bottle ie when he is ying down nicely. My daughter outgrows her pull-ups at abt 16 months (after using pull-ups for 3 or so mths). Now she knows she is supposed to lie down when I show her a new nappy. I reserve pull-ups for when we are out and there is no place to change her. So much cheaper to use the side-tape types, I reckon.

OMG! I was just complaining to my mom how hard it was to change my 5 month old! Are you guys saying this would go worse?

yup, my son now lies down dutifully to have a nappy change. as a matter of fact, he prefers the old style to the pull ups. i think because he likens the pull ups to underwear and since new baby has arrived, the potty training has fallen by the wayside.

we too only use pull ups now to go out.

ELT....5 months... enjoy it, it won't last much longer, once they're mobile, they realise that there is so much more of hte world to see and they don't usually want to sit still for something like a nappy change, they'd rather be out exploring!
