It's not because of the smell, the color, or the amount...it's....

because she won't stay still! I DESPISE diaper changes right now. As soon as I get Valerie down on the ground for a change and her diaper off, she wiggles out of my grasp, stands up, and runs away. I am literally running around chasing a baby who still has poop on her butt!!! I have no help from my OH because he just sits there, watching and laughing. Valerie thinks this is funny, so she continues to run around like a mad woman! When I finally get her down, she screams and screams until I get the diaper on. It's awful. This is insane....what do you ladies do to keep your toddler in one place during diaper changes?

I just use pull ups, have you given them a try? Obviously Alasdair isn't walking yet but they work a lot better for him.

 

[JennyLynn512]

Great idea...I don't know why I never thought of that. Thank you!!

 

[luckyme225]

I'm going through the same thing diaper changes are an absolute nightmare.

 

[tasha41]

No idea yet.. but big hugs!!

Maybe Valerie wouldn't think it was so funny if your OH didn't laugh though!

 

[mylittlebubs]

same problem here
i tried pull up ones but still hard work
So i give Lincoln something to hold while i do my job, like wet wipes bag or anything that would keep him still for 5 sec,lol

 

[aidensxmomma]

Aiden does the same thing. We always try to give him his bottle or a toy or something to keep his attention. I feel your pain.

 

[BlackBerry25]

I am having problems and H can't even walk yet. I have no idea how you are managing to do it right now!

 

[lillysmum]

maybe try a toy to keep her distracted?

 

[1st_baby]

[princess_bump]

I know she gets a kick out of watching OH laugh at her....but she still does the running away part when he's not here. Lol

 

[JennyLynn512]

We've tried the toy bit and that will help out for MAYBE 5 seconds....haha! I'm going to try the pulls ups once we're out of the regular diapers. We'll see how that works....thanks for the advice ladies!

 

[vicky9207]

Aaron is the same. I give him a toy to hold and he sits

 

[Dani_b]

i change connor on my knee so that he cant roll over and crawl off

I have been putting Brenn up on the changing table and it helps. But I totally get how you are feeling. I am just about to explode with being sick and tired of the fight it takes to get a clean diaper on Brenn along with fighting for him to take a nap, to get dressed, ect. ect. ect. UGGGG!

 

[Vickie]

I give her toys, books, the remote generally whatever is handy to distract her

 

[MoonMuffin]

Kathryn can't walk yet, but she hates lying on her back! the second I put her down she's twisting around flipping over (she's very strong) and I can't even get her pants off. I try pinning her down with my arm, she hates it and just screams though.
What's been working lately is putting a large washcloth or hand towel over her face and saying "where's Kathryn?" It works well by distracting her, she's to busy pulling it off her face and I just keep doing it until I'm done. Now for a toddler I doubt that something so simple would work, so I have no idea how to help

Lol...yes, getting dressed is another thing all together. She is in the stage where she wants to dress herself! Argh!!
