How to make my 8 months old stay still during diaper change time?

My 8 months old son is very mobil and he hates change diaper/clothes. It's a huge pain trying to change him. He will cry, scream and roll over to crawle away. We tried every trick we know...distract him with the toy, feed him water/juice during he diaper change time but nothing works. If you're a experienced parents, please advice. Thanks a lot!How to make my 8 months old stay still during diaper change time?
Put on a baby einstein video.. my son was the same way.. squirmy wiggle worm! I'd take the changing stuff out in the living room and put on the movie... my son usually was so distracted that he'd cooperate.

I also sang to him or played patty cake or peek a boo with his feet while we wer changing.. then he was more involved in the changings...How to make my 8 months old stay still during diaper change time?
just be calm, it's only a phase that he's going through. he'd much rather be moving around than have to be stopped to get changed. just keep practicing, soon you'll be able to work in the pit for a nascar racer because you'll be so quick. for the time being put him clothes that can quickly be removed and out back on.How to make my 8 months old stay still during diaper change time?
Good luck... lol

My daughter is 12months and alllll over the place. I usually try to have a toy, keys or something handy when I change her. You have to distract them. I also sing and make a fool of myself, lol, she usually just looks at me like I'm nutz! but giggles too.How to make my 8 months old stay still during diaper change time?
OH THOSE WERE THE DAYS! Looking back on them is much funner than going through them. But getting them to stay still is like teaching a fish to sit.



However there are things that might help. Try singing him a playfull song that he enjoys. or get some sticker sheets. While you are changeing him let him look at a sheet of sticker to pick ONE. If he stays and helps he gets to keep it.



which leads to another tip. Have him help, teach him how to hold up the diaper while you fasten it.



Still no sucess go to the pull up style diapers so he can stand while he steps into them like pantsHow to make my 8 months old stay still during diaper change time?
I would like to know too! My daughter has been a pain to change since she started crawling. It is impossible to put disposable diapers on her since she insists on being on her stomach. Once they are on I have to stand her up and try to redo it because it is all crooked and about to fall off!



I cloth diaper normally and use diapers with popper snaps. This has been a godsend! I know what snap is the right fit for her and the diapers go on easy no matter what position she is in. When I stand her up there is no need to adjustments. I have tried distracting her with toys but it doesn't work for very long.



The one thing I have noticed though is she doesn't do this when I change her in public spaces. Usually change places in malls have a pot light above them. I am not sure if maybe a light above her change table would help. Although I don't think it is good for a baby to be staring into a light bulb!How to make my 8 months old stay still during diaper change time?
