At 15 months it got A LOT better but it's still a 50/50 shot whether he will my little angel or possessed by an evil spirit.</p> <p>@swedishfish: Good luck!</p> <p>@.twist.: We use random things as distractions, too - nasal aspirator, keys!, medicine bottles (instant rattles), paper towels (good for ripping into tiny little pieces), oral syringes, etc. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-does-the-diaper-change-wrestling-match-end#post-1708440 Wed, 18 Jun 2014 21:26:37 +0000 .twist. 1708440@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@swedishfish: oh yea, sometimes I give him the most random things. iPhone, penatan container, Tylenol bottle (momwin!), keys, plastic hanger.... Haha it seems to work. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-does-the-diaper-change-wrestling-match-end#post-1708430 Wed, 18 Jun 2014 21:18:42 +0000 Applesandbananas 1708430@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We switched to huggies slip ons and do all changes standing up. It's been a godsend. </p> <p>There are still days, but 90% of the time, it's quick and painless. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-does-the-diaper-change-wrestling-match-end#post-1708409 Wed, 18 Jun 2014 20:56:55 +0000 hellobeeboston 1708409@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It's bad - LO is 20 months. Sometimes it takes various bribes and two of us to get the job done. I try to grab a book and ask him to find something in the book and that distracts just long enough to get the job done! Haha </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-does-the-diaper-change-wrestling-match-end#post-1708407 Wed, 18 Jun 2014 20:56:08 +0000 GreenThumb 1708407@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We also use books during most diaper times… also a little photo book of extended family members. She really loves that! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-does-the-diaper-change-wrestling-match-end#post-1708373 Wed, 18 Jun 2014 20:33:30 +0000 clover 1708373@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Its worse at 14 months than it was previously, we wrestle until all is wiped then put the new diaper on while standing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-does-the-diaper-change-wrestling-match-end#post-1708372 Wed, 18 Jun 2014 20:33:16 +0000 swedishfish 1708372@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Espion: hahahaha </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-does-the-diaper-change-wrestling-match-end#post-1708369 Wed, 18 Jun 2014 20:30:05 +0000 Smurfette 1708369@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@swedishfish: she came up with it! Every morning she points to the bookshelf so I get her out and she grabs one. I noticed those sessions go better, even with having to put sunscreen on and changing her outfit. Doesn't work everytime but it helps! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-does-the-diaper-change-wrestling-match-end#post-1708363 Wed, 18 Jun 2014 20:27:54 +0000 Espion 1708363@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Another master of the alligator death roll. For diaper changes <i>and</i> clothes. E wrestling occurs at least four to five times daily. Call for schedule. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-does-the-diaper-change-wrestling-match-end#post-1708362 Wed, 18 Jun 2014 20:27:43 +0000 hilsy85 1708362@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sigh. It got better for a while around 16 months and now at 20 months it is bad again!! :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-does-the-diaper-change-wrestling-match-end#post-1708359 Wed, 18 Jun 2014 20:26:55 +0000 swedishfish 1708359@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Smurfette: a book!

I'm contemplating this myself. </p> <p>LO is 10 months and dipe changes are increasingly more difficult. She just wants to be on the move. Like @.twist.: I try to distract with special items that typically are off-limits. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-does-the-diaper-change-wrestling-match-end#post-1708352 Wed, 18 Jun 2014 20:24:51 +0000 Smurfette 1708352@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Getting a little better these days. Give her a book to read each time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-does-the-diaper-change-wrestling-match-end#post-1708350 Wed, 18 Jun 2014 20:23:15 +0000 MoonMoon 1708350@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>At 12 months, it's actually a teensy bit better-the last couple of months were crazy on the diaper front! If we're at home, I do let him run around and air out for a little while, if it needs to be done quick, he will lie still for Sesame Street on my phone... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-does-the-diaper-change-wrestling-match-end#post-1708347 Wed, 18 Jun 2014 20:20:30 +0000 mrsbookworm 1708347@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When the changing table, you and the baby are covered in poop and you all need a bath? That's when it seems to end for me. :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-does-the-diaper-change-wrestling-match-end#post-1708345 Wed, 18 Jun 2014 20:19:51 +0000 swedishfish 1708345@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@.twist.: haha, maybe I'll hand her my iPhone. I sing to her, give her toys, etc. but what she will stay still for depends on the minute. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-does-the-diaper-change-wrestling-match-end#post-1708344 Wed, 18 Jun 2014 20:19:44 +0000 mrbee 1708344@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It's tough!! Once the kids could stand up, we switched to doing diaper changes standing up and they had no more objections! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-does-the-diaper-change-wrestling-match-end#post-1708342 Wed, 18 Jun 2014 20:18:39 +0000 cmomma17 1708342@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not anytime soon! (Says mom of a 14 month old ...) sorry! :bummed: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-does-the-diaper-change-wrestling-match-end#post-1708340 Wed, 18 Jun 2014 20:18:34 +0000 .twist. 1708340@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Uh yea. I'd like to know too. I find that if I give him something he *isn't allowed* he will look at it and contemplate it long enough for me to change a dipe. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-does-the-diaper-change-wrestling-match-end#post-1708338 Wed, 18 Jun 2014 20:16:50 +0000 swedishfish 1708338@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>R is almost 12 months old and it's a crapshoot whether she'll lay still for a diaper change or alligator roll. </p>
