My daughter stayed with her grandmother for about a month and a half and when she came back she has since started to scream at diaper change times. She runs away and when I make her lay down for her diaper change she screams. I don't understand what could have happened to make her change like that. I know she's started potty training a little bit to get the idea of it but still ... what the heck?! How can we get her to stop?Why does my 2 year old daughter scream when she%26039;s getting her diaper changed?
it doesn't mean something happened. a lot of kids at this age dont like to stay still for a nappy change,i use to have to pin my daughter down to do it or try when she was standing up, you could ask her why she doesn't like it and talk her calmly trough it. you could speak to the person who took care of her in that time to see if she was screaming when she changed her too.i mean there isn't a whole lot of info to go from - did your daughter see you in that time? maybe she is just use to someone else doing it. try using the pull on diapers and see if it helps her.Why does my 2 year old daughter scream when she%26039;s getting her diaper changed?
You had better question your baby's grandma.Something has happened and you need to get a full story about it.I'm not saying it's something serious, but you need to know.Why does my 2 year old daughter scream when she%26039;s getting her diaper changed?
The same thing happened with my son. My MIL would watch my son during the day while my hubby and I worked. In the evening, my son would scream during diaper changes. I didn't get it, but I just assumed that's how my son was.
Then I gave birth to my daughter when my son was 17 months old. My MIL came over to %26quot;help%26quot; out during the first week.
My daughter was such an easy baby. She hardly ever cried. She was such an angel. Anyway, I had gotten up to get a drink and my daughter started to squirm in her bassinet. My MIL said she will change my daughter's diaper while I got myself a drink of water.
While I was in the kitchen I heard my newborn daughter let out this blood curdling scream!!! I flew out of the kitchen and picked up my screaming daughter. I had never heard ANY baby scream like that. It was so scary that I was sobbing. I asked my MIL what happened. Why was my daughter screaming like that?
My MIL didn't say a word!!! I kept pressing it, but she continued to ignore me! Then my hubby came home and I dropped it for the time being.
Then the following day, my MIL was over again. I was breast feeding my daughter when my MIL volunteered to change my son's diaper. I told her that my son didn't need to be changed yet, because I had just changed him a half hour ago. She ignored me and went into my son's room to change his diaper anyway. All was quiet. My son was babbling happily to himself. Then all of a sudden he let out this terrible scream!!! I threw my daughter in her bassinet and I ran back to my son's room.
I picked him up and he was still crying. I again asked my MIL what happened. She still ignored me!!!!
The next day, my husband was changing my son's diaper. I was in the living room and I heard my husband call,%26quot; Hey, Moon. Come take a look at this%26quot;.
I went back there and my hubby pointed out a small round bruise on my son's buttocks.
It looked like my MIL had pinched him!
Needless to say, we have not let my MIL alone with the children ever since!!! I HATE my MIL now. I can't even look at her without shaking in anger. My hubby feels the same way, but he is still nice to her. If it were my decision, I would have NOTHING to ever do with her again!!! My husband still loves her though, but won't leave the kids alone with her.
I don't know what happened with your daughter. But if your motherly instinct is telling you something, go with it!! Limit the amount of time your daughter is alone with her grandmother. Your daughter will soon be back to normal. In a month or so, she will have gotten over it.
Good luck and God Bless.
EDIT:
I'm not necessarily saying that your daughter has been abused by her grandma. All I'm saying is, if you have a gut feeling, DON'T ignore it.
Other than that, your daughter will stop screaming during diaper changes no matter what the cause is. It will stop.
My son is 2 1/2 now and he squirms sometimes (though never screams). I sing his favorite song to him while I change him. Sometimes I hand him his favorite toy. Sometimes I give him a cookie. I will do anything to distract him while I change him.
He doesn't squirm when I change him, but he does with my husband sometimes. He is getting better and at least he's not SCREAMING anymore.
