I&#8217;ve tried toys, mobile, balls etc..he will still roll or plank off my hands. The only thing that keeps him still is me singing to him. im a shocking singer, but for some crazy reason, it keeps him still. Probably fear induced lol\u00a0 <i>Tamara<\/i><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li><i>\u00a0<\/i>No idea lol my dd started at 8mths and its still going at 14mths !

Just be sure to disinfect them often<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>even singing songs sometimes works well or a mobile \/hanging toys above the change area<br \/>\nGood luck.\u00a0 <i>Samantha<\/i><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li><i>\u00a0<\/i>Ditch the change table! I used to do it on the floor, put one of those baby wrist rattles on each of my big toes and pin bub down with my feet in tween armpit and front of shoulder if you get what I mean?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>Then you can wiggle your toes and the toy\/rattle keeps bub occupied while you change!
