1 Year Old Hates Diaper Changes

My problem is that I cannot get my 1 year old to stay still when I change his diaper. EVERY diaper change every day he arches his back when I try to lay him down, then when he does lay down he rolls over and trys to crawl away. If my husband is home I call him in to try to distract him with a song or a toy but when I am home alone I have to hold him down with 1 hand while I try to latch the diaper with the other. It is so frustrating!!
What can I do?

What can I do next?

Hi, I had the same problem. Not sure how much your baby weighs but he might be able to use pull-ups like Shannon said. I added a diaper doubler that I put in before I pulled up and we were all set. Hope it works out :-)

MAYBE IT IS TIME TO TRY PULL UPS.IT IS POSSIBLE THAT HE IS TRYING TO TELL YOU(MAYBE NOT IN WORDS)THAT HE IS A BIG BOY. IF HE SEES YOU GUYS GETTING DRESSED HE PROBABLY WANTS TO BE LIKE YOU OR YOUR HUSBAND AND WEAR THE SAME KIND OF "PANTS".

I have 15 month old also that hates dipper changes. I went and bought him the pull ups and he seems to be okay with that. I think he just did not like the laying down for a few minst to get cleaned up.
