Every time I change her clothes, it takes FOREVER. Total wrestling match. Starting with the diaper, she moves her legs up and down and rolls on her side. I think I have it secured, then with one swift move, the damn thing is crooked and falling off. Long sleeve onesies....I have to pry the sleeves from her hands because she grabs them as I am attempting to shove her arm through. Socks? Holy hell. I put one on, and as I'm trying to put the other one on, she rips off the first one and shoves it in her mouth.
I get soooo frustrated. And she spits up a lot, so she gets changed several times a day. Anyone have tips that don't require duct tape and a net?

It's a girl! Baby Anna was born August 3, 2014!
Always in footed PJ's (except rare special occasions)! As far as grabbing the sleeves...we were having this problem too. We started making him wear a long sleeve onesie under his footed outfits so when he spits up and needs to be change we just change the outer layer. DH taught LO to hold the onesie's sleeve while sticking his arm through the footed PJ sleeve. It's working well...gold star for DH!
BABY SOCKS ARE A JOKE!
Anytime I take the footed part off for a diaper change or outfit change DS's sweaty toes go directly into his mouth! Cute, but gross, and nearly impossible to change; think I'll put hot sauce on his feet. Just jokes...
cloth bibs? Then you can just change the bib most of the time instead of the whole outfit each time?

Yes!! DD does this and then as soon I go to take her arms out she decides she needs to stretch.
I've got to get some booties bc socks are not cutting it right now!
I make his hands into little fists and place them near the ar holes and his reflex is to push back- and his arm goes much of the way through his sleeve.
Pants- bunch up leg holes, thread 1 foot in, hold foot in place. Bend knee with free hand and thread through other bunched up leg hole. let go of first foot quickly and pull pants a bit up on the side you are still holding foot, trade sides and do the same. Keep doing until pants over diaper and in place. If socks, socks go on before pants.
Jeans or trousers are more of a pain than stretchy pants- that's for sure.
Actually I pretty much do the bunching and grabbing routine that @herecomesthesun described.
