DD all of a sudden HATES diapers changes and getting dressed! She wiggles and flips over and cries and cries.
We almost need both of us to be there. One to do the work and one to distract her. We end up giving her things to play with like our keys or remotes that we normally keep away from her just get through it.
Anyone else? Will it ever pass?

He's been like that for awhile now.. its as if he has better things to do than getting a diaper changed/dressed. After his bath is the worse b/c I take the time to lotion him up before putting him diaper and clothes on.
It also takes two of us.. someone is always needed to distract him. We've tried toys and sometimes it works.. but most of the time he just ends up throwing them on the floor. Again, as if he couldn't be bothered. lol

Oh my gosh, story of my life! It's been going on for over 3 weeks and wow, it's exhausting. I close the door to her room when I get her dressed so that as she escapes she doesn't have to far to go!
However, I discovered yesterday, if I give her a bottle or sippy cup to drink during a diaper change, she doesn't budge! Try it, maybe it'll help you?
Ugh, this is us too! For the past few months we leave an ounce or two in his bottle so there is something to distract him during diaper changes. He hates being on his back and not being able to be on the go all the time.
It really is a 2 person job.
I think one thing that has helped us is that I still change Tegan on her changing table. She's beginning to outgrow it, but I plan on using it until it's absolutely impossible for her to fit on the changing table. She does move around and wiggle quite a bit, but I think she knows that the changing table is where she gets her diaper changed and that she needs to stay as still as possible.
I wish this were the case with DS. He likes to dive over the edge so I'm holding him by the ankles! He's kinda crazy though. I've tried strapping him in using the changing table straps, but he still flips over. Potty training can't come soon enough!
