Whether she’s [trolling husband John Legend](http://time.com/4947946/chrissy-teigen-trolls-john-legend/) on Twitter or [fangirling over Beyoncé](http://time.com/5127151/chrissy-teigen-beyonce-2018-grammys/), [Chrissy Teigen](http://time.com/4998979/chrissy-teigen-on-john-legend-date/) is known for her candor and her experiences as a parent are no exception.

As a mother to her daughter with Legend, 2-year-old Luna, Teigen has been open about the challenges that she’s faced along the way, from [difficulty conceiving with IVF](http://celebritybabies.people.com/2015/09/29/chrissy-teigen-infertility-struggle-to-conceive-support/) to the [postpartum depression](http://time.com/4735951/chrissy-teigen-women-shouldnt-be-pressured-to-have-kids/) she experienced. Now, as she prepares to welcome her second child, a baby boy, she’s revealing that raising a baby can be challenging and messy at times.

In an interview with [_The Cut_](https://www.thecut.com/2018/04/chrissy-teigen-on-parenting-luna-being-pregnant-and-ivf.html), Teigen revealed between anecdotes about changing a diaper on the floor of a baseball stadium and going on tour with a toddler that she’s found a pretty good solution to changing the diaper of a squirmy, restless baby: a serenade by John Legend.

“I need to distract her in any way that I can,” she said. “But you know, John changes a lot of her diapers too and he sings little jingles and poopy-diaper songs. It’s all about being masters of distraction, when you’re changing them.”

It probably doesn’t hurt to have an award-winning voice when trying to soothe a baby.
