Making the most of Nappy Time

Changing baby's nappy is something we often do on autopilot, we do it so many times a day that we can consider ourselves nappy changing ninjas!  Nappy time is also a chance to spend some bite-sized 1:1 bonding time with your little one, especially if you have more than one child.

It's surprising how much learning and play goes on during nappy changes too - even though it might not feel like it as you're trying to do the whole thing one-handed while you're wrestling them back onto the changing mat with the other...  When they're in a more chilled out mood, there's lots of time for eye contact, singing a song and encouraging your little one to join in, helping them learn the names of body parts as they kick their legs around or smiling and laughing together. And if the two of you get into the habit of singing at nappy time it might even win out over the grouchy escapee act some of the time!
