[blparent] challenges with dressing an infant

[Nikki Fugett-Dobens]

Scott,
I'm not sure if you've tried this, but maybe if you put a mobile or mirror 
above the chaning table, she might be distracted enough to lay still just 
for a minute.  When my daughter was very young, I gave her a rattle to play 
with, and now, I sometimes give her a toy to play with or something to hold. 
She loves my phone, so usually that occupies her for a couple minutes, long 
enough for me to get her changed and dressed.  Hope this helps!
    Nikki
