Thanks to Beatrice for this Frugal Baby Tip!
I always try to get my squirmers to look for something - "Do you see any bugs on the ceiling?" "Do you see any birds in the sky?" (our changing table has a window next to it) - or ask them something they have to think about- "What would you like to drink when we're done?" etc... It works well enough most of the time - the other times, I just hold them down with one foot, hold the diaper with the other, pins in one hand, cover in the other... ;) (just kidding!)

About Catherine: I have been writing my Frugal Baby Tips since 1982, when I was a young divorced mom of two - for my baby product company, Born to Love. I am now mom to three grown up sons, and a grandma - and happily married to a wonderful man. We have rescued two little dogs, Denny and Dexter - and a rescue cat, Bella.
Taking care of baby and mom needs naturally, does not have to cost a whole lot of money! Money-saving tips on diapering, diaper washing, safety, sling and baby carriers, toys, clothing, nursing, menstrual needs, traveling with kids, and more!
If you have Frugal Baby Tips to share, we want to hear them! It might even get published!

I also ask my toddler questions to distract her when diapering. She's much less squirmy than her older brother was. Sometimes I tell her a story or give her a toy she doesn't get to see often while changing her diaper.
Great suggestions!
