Anger at diaper changes

Hey girl! Yes, I helped my sister changed diapers. I changed diapers of my kids and we all are just very independent is wrong people! I totally feel this frustration when I was changing diapers and all I can say is take a deep breath and just think about how wonderful it is that they have the strength. If there is something you can do to distract him or give him a little treat when he sits still just keep trying different things something will click.

I've honestly had to resort to giving my 11 month old something he knows he's not allowed just to get through it like the nappy cream tub or my phone or the remote just for him to let me change his bum it's very difficult and I understand the frustration I just make sure I take lots of deep breaths xx

Hey mama! Give urself some grace especially as a first time mom cuz we are all learning :)
My son just turned 2.5 yrs old and when he is/was very busy & used to “over-power” during diaper change! It was over whelming so I completely relate to the struggle. Bt enough abt me my long story short is I switched to the pull up diapers when my son was around 18months also maybe even younger lol u need to get like the underwear kind of diapers. So your not spending time on trying to snap the damn “Velcro” sides of the diapers together while ur son is doing those alligator rolls lol he is a toddler now so he will do wat toddler do bt these diapers willl jus go on like underwear! Hope this helps cuz it was advice I was given from another mom & it was a game changer! U will like it especially since u said u sometimes change him while standing up! I never went to “regular” diapers ever again :)

I switched to pull ups for this reason and it’s much better!! My LG used to drive me insane during a nappy change 🤣 I’ve found pull ups are quicker and she can stand up, roll, whatever if she wants 🤣 I can still get the pull ups on regardless x

Do pull-ups still work when they aren’t potty trained? I know that may be a dumb question but he’s my first.

lol we are all advising u as first time moms too, so it’s our first and the advice we are giving u is from other experienced moms! So girl of course it works! Switch to pulls up!! Don’t doubt it! Ur son is 1.5, they are ready for pulls up! U will not regret it!!!

Yes they absolutely do! My lg isn’t really potty training yet x

My 8 month old does this and I have to hold her arms down with my feet 🥴

I would take him out of daytime diapers, my son was like this from about 13-15 months old and I just had it, not recognizing that he was over diapers too and wanting to be more independent. But after we started potty training he was much happier, way less mess even if they don’t make it to the toilet all the way, and when they do it’s really great for them! It’s going to take longer than if you wait till they are 3 or whatever but I can’t imagine having waited any longer with my oldest.

Yep my little one is 13 months and for about 2 months now I have to change him while he's stood up and he will move around loads I have to chase him all around x

ur son is ready for pull ups! Diaper underwear! It becomes harder to change ur babys diapers cuz these babies aren’t babies any more: they have now become Toddlers= 12+months is a 1yr old so as toddlers they become more vocal with their body languages & words as they build their little personalities!
So things like changing diapers is not as “easy” as It used to be when they didn’t have “control” & u did
I had such a hard time right around the 1yr mark as well. I remember I absolutely hated changing him in public restrooms cuz he would be all over the place & it wud give me the ick! Bt another mama said to try pull ups! I was like aren’t pull ups for like 2 or 3 yr old 🤷🏾‍♀️ & she was like nope u are misinformed, u should try them! TBH that was one of the best advices I got from a seasoned mama who saw me; so that’s why I’m sharing & will keep sharing that advice cuz lots of moms (like myself) think our LOs are “too young” at that age bt Pampers cruisers saved my life!

Absolutely! It's super frustrating! Literally like trying to change a wild animal 🤦. We changed to pull-ups (we've not started potty training yet), and tried to teach him how to help out his own nappy/trousers etc on. It Took a while, but now changing nappies is more pleasant as LO likes to help try put his own nappy and clothes on.

I found giving her something to hold helps but I'm planning on potty training her soon as she's jus started to get like this at 15 months

Thank you so much for posting this because I thought this behavior was abnormal. My some is 9 months and it’s become soooo hard to get his diaper on sometimes. He’s flipping and crawling and wiggling all over. It’s frustrating for sure but I am relieved it’s not just my boy
