my 16 month old daughter hates having her nappy changed. We have also tried bribing her with toys and the like, but she just screams every single time we change her nappy, it is just so frustrating. I am now at the point where I will try to avoid changing her nappy if my husband is around so he will then have to change it, I'll change it when he's not around, but it turns into a screaming match everytime, the same goes for when my husband is trying to change her nappy as well. I don't think she is ready for toilet training as yet and I even went as far as trying to change her nappy whilst she was standing up, I didn't end up managing it, but I'm sure it is possible though as long as she doesn't move around. I think the whole problem with changing her nappy is the lying down part, as soon as we lay her down, this is when the screaming starts, so I may persist with the changing her nappy whilst standing or even try the huggies pull ups but these are expensive and you don't get to many in the packs as opposed to nappies. Has anyone tried toilet training this young even when you didn't think they were ready, have you been successful, we certainly know when she's doing a poo and can almost predict the time when she will do one but the weeing is not something we can predict as yet as she's to young to understand when doing anything?
