forgot to say latest update on mine is that he's currently trying to break some kind of poo world record again - having previously peaked at 11 in one day, he's currently averaging 6 - and today was 8! PLUS he's at that v wriggly/standing up/turning over stage where nappy changing is impossible. Thus: poo everywhere, nappy cream everywhere, cross mum, cross baby.

Belle - do the 'famous leg over trick'!!!


To change nappy;


Sit on floor on your bottom with legs out in front of you, in a V shape. Place baby at right angles to you, with your thigh over his chest to pin him down, and his feet in the direction of your other leg. You can then change him quickly and easily, with both hands free, without him moving, and even if he protests it will all be a lot quicker and less frustrating/traumatic than the general baby rolling and crawling away, poo everywhere, stressed out red sweaty Mummy thing....


Usually you only have to do it for a week or two and they stop playing up about nappy changes anyway because they realise you've got them beaten!


One of the best tips I've ever been given, handed down through generations of Nappy Ladies!

Tee hee Ian, sadly not in the same league - but as a parent probably much more relevant to day to day life, for a brief period anyway!

Hi All,


I am new to this forum and this thread has brought a smile to my face and a little bit of hope! I was starting to think I was the only mummy in the whole universe that averages 5 hours of broken sleep per night, has a baby (10 months) that will not allow me to put their nappy on and has cut 4 top teeth in less than a week, and owns a boiler that is on the blink. Seems I am just rather normal after all!


Oh the joys?.! xx

    • You'd need to get a proper quote (or three) for instance removing a cast iron bath is a very different job from removing an acrylic one. Again what pipe work will be being joined into - matching old imperial pipes with modern metric ones is different from like to like, as is dealing with a copper or an iron distribution system. The amount (area) of retiling required is an issue, as will be the state of the wall behind the tiles. It may of course all be very plain sailing, or not. Have a first look at plumber recommendations on the relevant pages on this site. If it's all easy then 3 days work may be sufficient. But it could be a week if there are snags. 
    • Hi. Can anyone suggest a plumber for the job below? Replace bath tub with a shower enclosure, putting pipes to showerhead behind wall, re-titling damaged/removed tiles Also any idea of the costs involved for the labour as we will buy the items required?
    • Aria came round to fix my tub drain when I'd messed up the seal. Came within hours, fixed the tub, and ran a bath to make sure it was okay. Here's where the fun starts. While he was over, I asked him questions about the rest of the plumbing round the house. I had just moved into a Victorian home that was previously being rented. Unsurprisingly, we found another leak in the tub and a drip in the kitchen tap.  He came back the next day to put a better pipe in my bathtub and replace the kitchen sink. Painstakingly figured out how to replace the hard-to-access kitchen sink without cutting through the wood panel with the help of his builder friend, Mark. Answered all my questions and clearly knew his stuff. All this right before Christmas holidays!
