How do y’all get your baby to stay still during diaper changes?

The only thing that keeps him still is ms Rachel singing the itsy bitty spider ( he loves this song) on the big screen. Anything else we’ve tried was a waste of time.

I talk my baby through what I’m doing while I change her and try to be extra animated it’s either a hit or a miss. A few months back she started grabbing at the things on her changing station I used to fight her on it but if holding her saline drops or a medicine syringe keeps her still enough for me to finish the job then we’re both happy! I think if I’m forcing her to lay down being able to play with something she doesn’t usually have access to peeks her interest more than her toys do in that moment

I put my leg over him 😩😂

I have had to give my son something he's never had access to like one of his medical syringes, two of his silverware usually a spoon and a fork

My 18m wrestles like a crocodile. I have to give him something he likes playing with to stop him. Usually a clean nappy to unfold or a pack of wipes (crinkly).

I don’t. I have wrestle him, lay my legs on his arms and hold a leg with one hand and use my other hand teeth to maneuver the diaper and ninja yank the wipes from sticking together. 🥷🏾 he still fights and tries to roll.

I try toys and tablets and it doesn’t always work. This is my second child and I was trying so hard to get her to roll over and once she started rolling over I was like shit I forgot how hard it is to change a diaper once they start moving.

It’s almost impossible! Like stated above, I talk her through it and add extra animated perks for her… I also offer a “massage-y” (she loves those) I also ask her to help me and give her an extra diaper to “help” me but it’s a toss up sometimes

Same here distract them is the best way I figured out but still doesn’t help sometimes

I have no answer to give you. The struggle is real!!!

lmao this made me laugh so hard. My girl has been giving me ISSUES! Screaming while putting on the diaper 🫠

Usually what works for me is turning on the TV and putting some type of song to keep him distracted. I do super simple songs! I have to be very fast tho.

I switched to pull up diapers to use during the day so I can change him standing or trying to run away🤣.

I usually give him something to play with so he is distracted but then I gotta work really fast loll.
The other thing I did was to switch to the smallest pull up diapers. My kids walk really early so I just loop his feet in and I stand him up and pull up the diaper.

I know same for me i sing but it really difficult with poop especially 😪😅
