Diaper Changing Is a Daily Battle

S. ,i feel for you .my grandson did that also,what we did was
gave him a slice of apple or a toddler's cookie,something that he really likes ,gave it to him then changed his diaper. then after a few times when he knew he had to be changed ,we would start letting him know that if he was a big boy ,he would get
a treat,each time we would give treat to him later and later
now that he is almost two we don't have to do it anymore.the point of doing this is to get there attention on some thing they really like.we only had to do it for a few months ,then for some reason he just stopped giving us a headache lol
we also tried a frozen wash cloth,just wet and ring out leaving it twisted toss in freezer about 20 minutes or so,this is also great for teething he would chew on it and being cold it was defferant from just a toy ,if you would like to give him some thing other than food .good luck hope some things works for you .

I have never used a changing table. I just change my daughter's diaper on my bed. It's a lot easier and there is way more room for her to move around. Babies also like to be naked. Let him enjoy the freedom for a few minutes. I also distract my daughter with another diaper, that seems to help.

All children go through that stage,
He's either
A. testing the limits,
B. He wants to be naked, or
C. Something is very uncomfortable on him
Understandibly so, I want to be naked. So let the little bugger run around alittle in his birthday suit, then CALMLY tell him it's time to get his diaper on, ask if he wants to help mommy. I have been there twice! I have two boys and from birth they would rather have there dingy hangin' out, if ya know what I mean. I know it's frustrating, I really know, but it doesn't help to make it into a punishment; by hitting him or yelling, or getting angry yourself, it's just not worth it, it's just a diaper. I think the most effective way is to bring him with you when you get dressed and encourage him to do the same or let him go near naked. It's not so bad, only when you go out, that's the tricky part, but just hold your ground and refuse to move until he dresses. He will understand, it might take a while, but you need to be patient and you will see change literally... I really hope this helped, I feel your pain. God bless

Try telling him that you are about to change his diaper in five minutes and that he can continue playing when your done. He might be too involved with a certain toy that he gets upset with you interrupting him without notice. Just think about it this way: Would you want someone to interrupt what you're doing and start changing your diaper without telling you first. You're a little bit too old for that but you know what I mean. Everything will work out fine.

When my kids reached this point, I moved to easy ups. They are not pull ups, easy ups are a diaper that you don't have to strap on. My kids really liked standing up to pull their diaper on instead of laying down. Sometimes I changed them with a regular diaper standing up. I think it felt less controlling to them and more grown up. I did this in the bathroom and then that later helped with the transition to potty training.

My son is 3 now and resistant to potty training. It might be the diaper itself that is bothering him. That happened with our son. Some of them scratch his belly/ab or could be too tight. Try singing Wheels on the Bus or patty cake and do hand movements. Is it very lit when you change him?

My son started this already & he's only 9 months old!! Yes, all children go through this; some not as bad as others (or as long). My daughter wasn't too long, but my son is a handful & unlike you - he can't stand & help. Everyday I have to give him something new to distract him (he gets bored very easily). Lately, it's been something simple like a cardboard tag from one of his clothing. I always have everything completely ready for the change, try to do it as quickly as possible & always make it easy on & easy off clothes. -- And let dad wrestle with it when possible (give yourself a stress break!)
