Hi there! I am a new mom struggling with handling my baby's resistance to diaper changes and clothing changes. My little one seems to get very fussy and wiggly whenever it's time for a diaper or clothing change, making the task very challenging and time-consuming. I've tried distracting him with toys or singing, but it doesn't seem to help. I'm looking for some advice on how to handle this situation and make diaper and clothing changes less of a struggle for both me and my baby. Any tips or tricks would be greatly appreciated!

Hello, I understand how frustrating it can be when babies resist diaper and clothing changes. When my son was a baby, he would get upset every time we changed his clothes or diaper. It was quite overwhelming, but I found a few things helpful.
One of the things that worked for me was to distract him with something he loves, like his favorite toy. I would hold his toy in one hand while changing him with the other hand. This distraction helped a lot in calming him down.
Another thing that helped me was to use a diaper that fit well and didn't cause any irritation or discomfort. I also found that using a good quality diaper rash cream helped keep diaper changes comfortable for him. Moreover, I also made sure that the clothing I was using was soft, easy to wear and comfortable.
Lastly, I recommend engaging your baby with smiles, giggles, and warm cuddles during the changes to help keep them calm and make the process enjoyable for both of you. Remember, babies can sense our anxiety, so try to stay calm and positive. With patience and constant little efforts, eventually, they will get used to the routine.
Good luck, and I hope these tips help you with your baby's resistance to diaper and clothing changes!
