My 1 year old fights me during diaper changes: What can I do?

I give my son a random household object to play with.

Nursery rhymes, special diaper changing toys she only gets when you change her diapers, funny faces and eye contact, if it’s just wet change it with her standing, put on a short video for her to watch just for the change, if all else fails put your legs over her arms while she is on her back and hold her torso down that way. Oh you could also try talking her through the change while making eye contact, “ok, it’s time to change your bottom, first we’re going to lay down, can you lift your feet for me…etc.” My first daughter was a diaper change fighter too. Your doing awesome already, you’ve got this :wink:

Mount a mirror where they can see themselves, they will talk to the other baby. Fun to watch too!

I put my boys pants on his head as a distraction so I can get it done :joy::joy:
