Rogue baby, is this normal?

[Momotheathlete]

My nine month old is completely feral. She's my first and I have no idea if these things are normal? Are phases? Or I'm stuck with them for the long haul?

1. Screams hysterically when having her nappy changed or getting her dressed. Literally acts like I'm trying to kill her
2. Flips herself over every time I go to change her nappy. It's impossible not to get poo all down her leg and even less possible to put a new nappy on
3. Wants to stand up constantly, in the bath, when we are out (won't go in a high chair, doesn't really like the pram), but obviously can't stand or walk. She just pulls herself up wherever and whenever, and so she hurts herself fairly often (I try and control it but can't always)
4. Has started recently throwing her head forward (like a more dramatic nod), especially when tired

I should say that for the most part she is a lovely girl. Smiles at everyone, loves other people, is generally happy. But I'm getting frustrated at the bits above. Are these standard phases?

Slowrun am jealous, DS hates showers with such passion that he does sympathy crying if he sees anyone else having a shower. Even though it’s nothing to do with him. Full on screaming

I read a trick on here to use stickers on their hands to keep them distracted during nappy changes. I’ve not had to use it yet but hoping it does work when ds goes through that phase!

Badger, oh, no! You could still stand them in the empty bath. It's easier to clean them up with water handy and they can play with some plastic toys. Easier to clean the bath too than everything else when they can roll everywhere!

househunt you’ve made me lol properly. Yes you need to rip off the pull ups!

Ds1 is quite feral himself. An inveterate climber, high chair refuser, nappy wriggler extraordinaire. Apparently they do become civilised at some point....

DD1 was similar. From when she could stand at 7 months I changed her nappy with her stood up on the windowsill (she had something interesting to look at and couldn't run off!)

all very normal. These things took me by surprise too when my twins were small.

They’re now almost 2 and one has just gone back to going nuts when I change his nappy, except he’s insanely strong and it turns into a full blown wrestling match.

Hopefully it will pass (right?)!

Yup totally normal all of it. My nearly 2 year old Dd still does the first 2!!

Yes unfortunately normal 😜

Pampers now do pull up nappies, they are much easier to put on than the tab ones when they are at the bag-of-cats stage.

Standard haha. I used to chase my baby around crying to get her nappy on whilst she laughed

My mum used to utilise the ‘pin childs arms down with feet’ method while changing us on a mat on floor.

Yes - you need long legs though, otherwise they can kick you in the crotch
