Diaper change

Sometimes if I sing to him it helps, but most of the time I just pray and hurry 😂 He hates holding still for diaper changes these days 🥴

Talk to them … are you stinky? Am i stinky? Did you poop? Here hold this diaper! Are you helping? Youre helping! Can we count? 1 2 3 4 ….

Talking about whether or not they peed or pooped gets them ready to talk about if they are going to pee or poop so it has the added bonus of helping potty train

I let her hold something in her hands and then I try to go as fast as possible 💨

pin him down with our legs over his arm 🤣

Distract them with something to hold

Something to hold, talking, singing, peekaboo, when you practice the baby holding still say “hold on” or “wait” or “don’t move” in a high pitched mommy voice. And then when they keep still for a little bit say “good job”! It helped me a lot and my kids only 16 months old and when I say hold on he calms down

Luck 😂 and only about 50% of the time if that. He’s 7 weeks and finally seems to be realizing that it means a clean diaper and calming down at times when we change.

Hand him a book. Kinda like you would a newspaper or a magazine on the John. Lol

I've always laid mine across my knee then I grip both legs together and lift and change. I was at brothers and my neice is 2 he was having trouble getting her to stay still. I picked her up sat on settee put her across my know job done he couldn't believe it. 😂

It’s a wrestling competition. She hates diaper change. I give her something to hold she gets bored and rolls or tries to sit up and kick her legs 😂

it’s best to actually have them on the side

@Luna maybe try waiting her out like hey you’re stinky when you are ready for me to fix it come here for a change. Then when she flails on the changing table say something similar like if you want me to help you you need to stop kicking me and just wait and don’t let her leave but don’t hold her down. Its a game to her and this might help it be less of a game.

When she was younger singing would work, then when she got older and started walking (and running!) I started changing her standing up. I put a toy on her table or on the sofa and do it while she's distracted. Today we were playing ring a ring a rosy and when she fell down I quickly got it done. Had to undress her the first round, sing it again, and cleaned her up and put a fresh nappy on the second time 😅 she was kicking a lot but I did it! On bad days I use my phone 🙈

I let him roll onto his tummy and then it’s actually easier to clean his bum 😅
