11 month old hysterical at changing times

[RLOU30]

Just that really. It's so difficult not helped by the fact that he has just had 10 days of diarrhoea and multiple changes a day.

It's gone on about 3 months he just goes mental and it seems nothing I distract him with works. I've tried everything and it's getting to the point I physically dread changing him. Honestly when I'm dressing him you would think I'm torturing him the madness that unfolds :(
Is it normal? When will it pass ? Is there any magic tricks I've missed to help us work this out?

Exactly the same with us. As soon as I lay him down he goes wild!!! He has been poorly too so lots of changes. Distraction works sometimes but can definitely not do a quick change! He is slightly better this week as his mood got better. Hope your DC either potty trains super quick or comes to terms with changing! X

Hi, we’ve been using pant nappies forever because of this - could you get him to ‘stand’ (leaning on you a lot) while changing him?
Maybe lying down and having his legs pulled up is painful on his back?
We haven’t done lying down nappy changing for ages. Pant nappies were a godsend!

We are in the same position! She's been bad since about 7 months but I used to be able to distract her with a toy most of the time, then she needed her dummy to calm down but then I'd distract her with a toy and whip the dummy out without her realising. As time goes on she's getting worse and toy distraction no longer works, but dummy usually does, so I just give her her dummy every time and mostly it means she just cries intermittently if I'm changing her clothes rather than hysterical, rolling about everywhere all the way through a nappy change. Does your DC have a dummy? The other thing that often works is having someone else there to distract her but obviously not always possible! Interestingly she is not like this at nursery!! Initially she was just like this with me and DH and not my DM either - my DM has her one day a week - but after 2 months of childcare 1 day a week with her, she is also like this with her now too!
