Getting Dressed

DS is usually a pretty happy go with the flow baby, but have always had trouble when it comes time to getting dressed and it is getting worse! Getting undressed is fine, he even plays a little game with me by holding his has close to him so i cant get his top off and giggles, but when it comes time to get dressed he screams the place down! I have tried talking to him, blowing on his tummy, giving him toys, letting him watch tv while i dress him, all seems to work for a few seconds then its screaming time, mainly once anything goes over his head! Any ideas on what else i could try??

Caden has been like this from day one. Not so bad with getitng undressed, but getting dressed he HATES it.

Nowdays, he kicks and screams and trys to run away and hits me, oh the joys of having a toddler lol. Hopefully your DS grows out of it lol, cos it just got wors for us Im afraid Nothing works really for us, we try toys and stuff and he still gets mad and throws them away and just frantically trys to get away lol
Caden loves to be naked as well lol, after his bath at nght he would happily run around naked until bedtime lol! We let him run round for a little bit, but Im often soaking up little err..puddles!

Sirius is also the same, it is such a mission changing nappies or dressing him.
He continuously tries to roll away, over and over lol, I have to hold him down.

Heidi is the same but only really with putting her arms through the sleeves of things, so I play a little game where I say "wheres Heidis hands?" and then when I get them through I blow raspberries on them, sometimes it amuses her sometimes not so much. I have also just become really chilled about it and she seems to have relaxed more about it.

Our issue now is rolling over and trying to escape as soon as the nappy is off, lucky she cannot crawl yet as she would take off!

Oh gosh thanks for that!! Something to really look forward to! Just hope he isnt like my brother... he painted his cot and walls with the 'paint' from his nappy!!!

Might try what you suggest Heidi... he is currently under his musical play gym with no nappy and screaming away with laughter! BOYS eh!!!

yep Rachel, I swear by my hairdryer! Works everytime

hehe boys and their bits seems they never grow out of it (ever) my ds2 is a shocker

Tessa also hates to be dressed sometimes i think i have hurt her as she screams so much. Hmm can't wait for the stage where they won't lye still and try crawling away

Sheza wrote: Wait until they start trying to grab their bits when they have a yucky pooy bum Caden is really good at that So I have to try and distract him while I quicky wipe his bum!

Oh god. Is there a way to prevent them ever finding their bits

Rory only crys when his arms are going through the sleeves. And nearly every nappy change or clothes change he is trying his hardest to roll away. At the moment he isnt rolling away on purpose but im NOT looking forward to the days when he starts doing it to try and get away from me.

Stresses me out to lol! and when he almost puts a foot in the pooy nappy! Oh the joys!

Campbell doesn't like it when I'm pulling his arms through the sleeves, but he's much better than he used to be when getting dressed. I think it helps to make a game of it.
Cam has also started finding his boy bits, and once got his hand in his poo when I took his nappy off! Sheza, not great to know it'll get worse!!

I missed it, but apparently about a week ago when DH was giving Cam his bath, he got his first little hardon! Gave DH a bit of a fright!
