Toddlers: 24 Months+

lo refusing to have diaper changed

Is she just showing her independence? She just turned 2 and now throws some tantrum when its time for a diaper change. She will have a diaper full of poop and want to sit in it and play rather then get changed. I now have to carry her in like a baby and hold her feet down while she's screaming bloody murder in order to change her. Anyone go through this?

  • Yep.  Still going through it.  Sorry, I have no advice, but I share in this delightful toddler behavior as well!  :)

  • It's a stage.  For the past 4-6 months my son has refused to lay down to be changed.  We have mastered changing him standing up.  He is much more cooperative this way.

  • Same thing here. We try to use bribery and distraction to get him to sit still.

    When we are out, for months now, she won't put her butt anywhere near a changing table, so I change her standing up too.
