Diaper meltdowns

Does anyone else's toddler have an absolute meltdown when it's time to change their diaper? My little guy 3/5 times will scream, cry, roll, kick, do everything to keep from having his diaper changed. It's not as if he had any rash that's painful or any visible wounds on his back. It's literally become a two person job. I've tried bribing him with chocolate (I'm desperate, don't judge), distracting him with toys, silly noises, songs, NOTHING works. Any advice would be appreciated.

We are in same phase. I think it's due to weather. She complains it's cold. I guess she is avoiding wipes

Same here I think it’s just an age thing and not wanting to stay still. I also bribe with chocolate sometimes 😆

same. i think it’s because she knows she can deny and try anything to just keep being able to run around freely. sometimes my daughter will understand that we want to change her and will cooperate and even say she has gone poop. just try to prepare your little like 10min before hand that you’re going to change their diaper soon and ask where they would prefer to have it changed either on the floor or on a high surface. we usually change our girl up high so she can’t get up and run away

Yup. Same.

Yes, I try to provide a toy or safe object for distraction.

Yes unless she watches baby shark.. now sometimes she says she’s poopy and need baby shark even when she isn’t because she wants to watch it

We struggle too! It kind of helps when I distract him with a question. Like, Can you count to 10 with me? Or, can you sing wheels on the bus??

Leaky nappy help

What nappies are you using to stop leaks?? We use pampers ultra dry size 5, and for the past few nights he has lashed through and we’ve had to completely change him during the night. Last night he leashed through twice!! He sleeps on his front and stays leaks through at the top of his leg where the tabs connect. Didn’t know whether to size up, he has a bit of a belly on him but he’s smack in middle of weight guidance so shouldn’t need too

Am I wrong?

I’ve been wanting to add more garden beds to my garden. Husband says “hey do you want to go to Home Depot to get that wood for the garden beds.” Cool I’m excited I’ve been wanting to get this done for awhile.

We get there and we’re picking out wood and I make 2 comments about how I don’t like how 2 pieces of wood look that he picked out. And he says if you’re going to be this picky then u can do this yourself.

I literally made 2 comments and mind you I’m the one paying for the wood.

I felt dismissed and like my opinion didn’t matter and if I wanted to have an opinion then I need to do it myself. Like what?

It was rude and not okay. Am I wrong? Am I overreacting?

He thinks it was fine that he said that.

New born

Finally had my baby girl via C-section on the 18th, everything has been so far. But I’ve noticed she’s very fussy and cries a lot. I’ve been trying to exclusively breastfeed. The lactation consultant at the hospital said I did look like I’m making enough milk for her. She was latching on good at the hospital and now here at home, she doesn’t seem to want to latch at all. She’s been crying a lot and very fussy. I’m just wondering is she’s colic or like maybe she just doesn’t want the breast anymore?

6 month old autistism

My 6 month old makes no eye contact with me and doesn’t respond when I call him. Can this just be a phase or personality trait as apposed to autism
