I haven't minded littlies for ages, well over a year and am now day two into minding a 10 month.
Everything is going well except nappy time. Boy does he wriggle! he has this twisting kind of move that makes him difficult to hold and then he scarpers (well crawls away at quite a pace).
I've tried singing, pulling faces, making silly noises. At first I think he got a bit of a fright for which I felt awful :blush: so now I've tried being more gentler in this approach but he now just looks at me like I'm mad then twists an goes.
I've given him something to fiddle with but he twists and plays on his tum and I can't get him back over again. It's not helped by the fact that due to this I have to change him on the floor and my back isn't so great.
Any tips?
