Makeshift "peek-a-boo" nets you a few wiggle-free seconds to change a diaper

Martin's wiggly baby tip:

My daughter is 8 months old and is wriggling and rolling like nobody's business - especially when we're trying to put on a fresh nappy (I guess you call them diapers). One way I've found of creating a few seconds' wriggle-free window of opportunity is to cover her face with whatever's handy, usually a washcloth or some about-to-be worn clothing, a la peek-a-boo - she's then concentrating on pulling it off her face instead of wriggling and I get to finish the job!
