Baby hates nappy changes
Show your support
Right, I think it’s the cold that bothers them the most. We got a small heater that can be kept on the changing table and that was a game changer. My baby doesn’t cry anymore now. Also if the baby is changed after being fed helps calm them down even better
Very normal. We change nappies mid feed so that baby is calmed with milk after
My 4 week old still screams the house down, Midwife says it’s normal and they grow out of it
My almost 4 week old is the same, screams as soon as hes put on the changing mat and doesn’t stop till its over 😩
Mine does the same. He really screams when I top and tail him on days when he doesn’t have a bath! Can’t wait for him to settle into changes 😬
my baby girl is 2 weeks old now and doesn’t scream anymore she’s gettin use to it now x
4 week old daughter is the same. Every now and then we have a calm nappy change but they are few and far between x
Same here. It’s normal. I find that warm water with cotton wool like other suggested works better. I sometimes feed her first half way, then use a dummy if really bad and finish feeding at the end. It should get better with time.
Oh yes 😂. Very normal I Have a 2 year old in nappies too trust me it gets harder 😂 xx
I got a baby wipe warmer and its made such a difference
@lynne oh, I'd read lots of people saying these were a waste of money, but the cold wipes really set my little one off! Can I ask what brand you have and where you got it from? 🥰 xx

@Kelly no worries
Mine screams the house down most of the time. When she doesn't it's because she's staring at the vibrant wallpaper or staring at me because I'm being silly as I tend to sing what I'm doing along with making silly faces (it's what keeps me sain through the crying because my brain hates her crying I have to put music on to drown it out or my head starts feeling horrible and my vision goes weird).
Doggo pads on the changing mat 😊 so it's not cold on their bum and it catches any wees. They do get used to it after a couple weeks though. My little man hated bum changes now he's not too bad. Still hates being naked though
my 2 week old son is the same! warm water and cotton wool instead of wipes helps sometimes, I think it’s the cold wipes that upsets them
