Refusing diaper change

My daughter is straight up refusing to change her diaper. Every time it’s a fight. She doesn’t want to lay down, cries and tries to escape the whole time. Sometimes it takes 20 minutes to get her even close to cooperating. Anyone dealing with something similar or have suggestions? Does this mean we are ready for potty training? It’s wearing me down. Especially in the morning when I’m trying to get us out of the house for daycare and work. Makes me feel the guilt rushing her and forcing her to do it just so I can go to work. 😩

Try singing and playing with her see if that helps

I had the same issue with my daughter. I tried switching to pull ups. I made her put it on by herself (she's been very strong willed and independent since she turned 1yo, so I let her do most things by herself to avoid power struggles especially early in the mornings) then I'll just make sure it's put on properly (she can't pull up the back part). Less struggle and then got her potty trained after a month of wearing pull ups.
