Does anyone else's baby cry throughout almost every nappy change?

Question

I'm trying to understand why my daughter does this. It seems to be a new thing. She's distressed whilst doing a poo sometimes and of course uncomfortable. Then when I put her on her changing mat she cries, throws up her legs and tried to wiggle off. My daughter has had bowel problems so sometimes I wonder if she's in any pain. I feel like there's something up, just a gut feeling however all doctors tell me there's nothing wrong.

Answer

How old is your baby? Mine cried about diaper changes first 2 weeks and stopped. Now he enjoys it. Only time he will cry is if I get him off the breast to change diaper or he is in pain. 
But I must admit, the nurses in hospital did his diaper change and let all babies cry so much. I had to even walk over with my csection to stop them. I think it was traumatic to him because he cried for 2 weeks. We at home soothed him through diaper change. We used warm water...yeah. I dipped the wipes in warm water. And we did it softly and would sooth him...then he stopped crying. Now we use the wipes cold as they are Nd no picking up in between or soothing and he is just fine. He actually even opens his legs when u lay him down. He is 6 weeks.
 So my advice is to try to make the diaper change a very pleasant thing depending on how old your baby is. Once they have a positive outlook on it, they will stop crying. Mind took 2 weeks. Just keep it all nice and good for the baby. Let them enjoy it.

Before about 2 months my boy cried during any kind of changing and even bath time, just new and scary I assume.  Now he’s one and cries cause I won’t let him run away after taking his diaper off

Answer

My daughter is 15 months old, no tummy issues or anything and cry’s, and makes a big production almost every time I lay her down for a diaper change. I’m just like calm down lady I’m just changing your diaper, you don’t want to sit in a dirty diaper do you? Sometimes if I give her a toy it distracts her, and sometimes if a cousin is over - they distract. At bed time she try’s to get away throughout the whole diaper changing/ jammies process / sometimes she’s laughing and sometimes she throws a fit 🤷🏻‍♀️ it might just be a phase. Just wanted you to know you aren’t alone. Kids can be a-holes sometimes- adorable a-holes lol 😂

Answer

Pretty normal. If you think about it from their point of view they’re just going about their lives and then being picked up, forced on their backs, there’s cold wipes and cream, etc. and they aren’t given a choice in the matter. We wouldn’t like it either lol.
