It actually does get easier. At least it did for me. LO is 20 months and she still does try to flip over and crawl away..... but she did get easier to distract. I have her book shelf right by her changing table so I'll grab a book for her, but of course she's very picky about what book she wants so that's always an issue. Or I'll sing to her. And of course she's picky about what song I'm singing.... I just always have to find the right thing

I've been using an adult plastic cup (the kind we use by the pool) and laugh into it and then give it to him. He laughs into it and usually keeps him busy long enough for me to change his diaper. I put it away with the wipes/diapers so it's a treat 'toy'. Ugh, I hope this lasts! The worst is after bath time - he has so much fun and then melts down when I put on the diaper, lotion, clothes

I dread them too. Only mine is only two weeks old so she screams cause she hates being naked. You would think it was better then sitting in poop but she thinks it is worse.

Yes! Although things are actually getting a bit better. Sometimes singing a song with dd helps, I also have a toy basket right beside the changing pad that she can dig through. She also likes to "help" at times by holding the diaper or wipes or Vaseline tube. For clothing changes I am trying to get her involved naming body parts and playing peek a boo with her for the shirt, hands and feet. This works sometime, other times we still just fight!

LOL! kidding.

I can empathize. I'm constantly having to grab and flip him back over. I usually have to hold his legs down--which makes me feel super crappy, but he's not easily distracted, and nothing else really works (except, like you, occasionally TV).

Have you tried changing his diaper standing up? I know it doesn't work if there is poop, but i do it for pee changes.

I feel your pain though. Baby has gotten better ever since i started pinning her down, and will just cry for a few seconds. I will usually do changes in front of the tv if i'm in a rush. I think the older they get, toy distractions aren't really option.
