Re: Diaper Changes

yes, mine is 22days old and does the same thing. I try to feed him 3 ounces before and than I change him and give him the last ounce of milk. This way he calms down a bit.

My niece was that way. It is normal. My ds at 8 months is starting to not like them anymore either

Re: Diaper Changes

yes....he is starting to get used to it though.

Re: Diaper Changes

My DS did this basically every diaper change for the first 2 months. It finally slowed down now at 10 weeks and he only cries now during it when he is hungry.
The only advice I can give is offer her the binky and talk to her while your changing her.

Re: Diaper Changes

When my DD was a newborn, she hated diaper/clothes changes and would cry hysterically the whole time. That phase didn't last very long, and by about a month old, she actually loved diaper/clothes changes. We'd hang out on the changing table for 15-20 minutes sometimes just playing and making sounds back and forth. Now at 5.5 months, she's back to hating them. She squirms and cries and it's getting harder and harder to change her.

Re: Diaper Changes

It's normal. DS screamed at every diaper change for the first month or so. He's 5 months old now and happily coos or eats his hands while being changed. He also thinks it's hysterical when I take his onesie off. DC will grow out of the crying fits.
