Oh dear Lord. These are the bane of my existence.
LO flails and screams and flips and screams and throws whatever toy I've given him and screams more. It usually ends with him on the floor and me essentially pinning him down. It's exhausting and frustrating and it makes me feel like an awful mom, having to pin down LO.
Anyone have magic tricks up their sleeve?

Singing a song about poop in his diaper, giving him my phone, and giving him his paci all sometimes help But sometimes it's just bad!

Giving her a book, singing a song, playing with her belly button, and as a last resort giving her my iPhone. I don't like giving her my phone because phones have so many germs unless you have just cleaned it! But then you should really clean it again after the diaper change so yeah...last resort!

I do give him my phone quite a bit for diaper changes, I downloaded some fisher price apps but he just slings it across the room

@Applesandbananas: DS1 fights me like crazy for a few days and then backs off for longer. Hopefully this is just a phase? When he fights me I just talk/sing/ask him questions to distract him. We have a bunch of animal pictures in his room so I always ask about them. How old is your LO?

He's a year. Reckoning with him doesn't work lol he just grins and takes off like a bandit. My husband pulled up a YouTube video for him and that worked well. I'm hoping that strategy works for awhile!!

Singing the wheels on the bus song is all that works right now. That's his favorite. I don't know what we'll do when the magic wears off!

Change it while he is standing up - works so much better (for pee anyway)
