Screaming w every diaper change???

my ds who's 8.5mos old now. he's never really had a problem w diaper changing up until maybe a month ago. it's as if he's being tortured! once i lay him down he immediately stiffens up. his legs twists together adn when i grab his legs up it's like holding a log! he doesn't have a rash, so, that's not it. i give him a toy or paper or.. to distract him. but to my dismay..
he just absolutely hates it! help!

DD gets like this some days and it is so increditbly difficult to change her. I have to hold her won with my left arm while single-handedly trying to change her with the other.
I have no idea what makes her get this way or how to stop it. Sometimes I just hold her legs until she is done scutching.

Re: Screaming w every diaper change???

I remember those days. They are so busy they cant stand to be stopped for a change. Can your DC stand with assistance? Try a standing change, this worked great for #1 with DS. Messy diapers he was less inclined to fight.
