I have a new trick to keep the babies still while changing their diapers. Now, I realize this trick is on the ‘ewwwwww I can’t believe you do that side’, but hey, whatever works. The trick is to change the diaper while they are eating their bottle. Yes, I know, kinda gross. These days they are all over the place during their diaper change. Rolling away, turning to the side, rolling on their bellies, scooting away from me, grabbing the diaper and trying to eat it..you name it. Those 20 second diaper changes are long gone, but at least now I can get it done without too much drama. It’s not like you never sat on the toilet peeing while eating a peanut butter and bread sandwich. Oh wait, that was me. And in my defense it was when I was running on zero sleep and crazy babies..I barely had time to brush my teeth let alone eat…cut me some slack!

I think it’s a great idea!
You could try this, too, since they’re already grabbing the diaper: Give them a (clean!) diaper that is theirs to play with every time you change them.

Done it, still do it. It gets so hard to change their diapers and that’s better then getting poop everywhere, which will happen if they keep trying to do the aligator roll. Silly babies:)
