Diaper changing

By miguelb

While I had no reservations about changing diapers, "wet" or "dirty", our baby would cry and shake when we changed his diaper.  Very loudly.  For the entire time.  With almost every diaper change.  For the first couple months, if I recall correctly.  This is different from the desirable bonding experience some parents have where there is eye contact, cooing and an eagerness of the child to be diaper-changed.

I was thankful when the crying during changes subsided.  And more thankful when he became toilet-trained and we didn't have to scurry after him to change his diaper.
