Many young parents often face such a problem as the process of dressing or changing the baby's clothes. At first glance, there is nothing complicated in this, but when you have to get down to business, many difficulties arise. Often small children at this time begin to be capricious and cry. You can solve this problem if you approach the process of dressing crumbs with imagination and do something to keep him busy at this time.
Everything should be ready!
In order to change your child's clothes as quickly as possible, you need to keep everything you need close at hand. A nipple and a bottle, napkins and diapers, clothes and diapers, cream and powder - all this must be put next to you. Then you do not have to leave the crumb alone while you run around the apartment in search of everything you need.
Entertain your kid with songs and fairy tales
Dressing up will be more interesting and more fun if you are not silent. You can accompany this process with funny conversations, nursery rhymes and songs. You can simply voice each action. So you will not only keep your baby busy, but also replenish his vocabulary.
Toys will come to the rescue!
Toys can distract your child for at least a couple of minutes. Place some toys next to it. He himself will choose from them the one that is more interesting to him. However, this method is unlikely to take the baby's attention for a long time. So, you only have a few minutes to put it on without crying or hysterics.
Be calmer!
Don't be nervous if your fidget doesn't want to sit quietly while you dress him. Try to keep him busy with a story about what awaits you on the walk. Tell us how you will walk in the park, ride a carousel, swing on a swing. After all, all this awaits the baby after you get dressed for a walk.
Switch attention
Shifting attention is one of the most effective ways to distract your baby while getting dressed. Give him a rattle or a bright toy in the pen. You can put on a small show using stuffed animals. Alternatively, you can distract your baby with “musical instruments” that are at hand. During the performance you will be able to dress your child quickly and without tears.
Dress while playing!
Let the dull dressing process turn into a fun game. While you are putting on a blouse and the child cannot see you, you can play hide and seek. If you approach the process with the game, your little one will love to dress up very soon.

HELP!!! There are no more nerves ...
Getting dressed for the street is a disaster! We have a hysteria for clothes (and any). To get ready for a walk, we need to spend a lot of time and nerves on all these procedures. What we just didn’t try: we sang songs, and the music was turned on, and dad was distracted (he stood behind his back and dabbled with his son), and toys were offered, and talked loudly, etc. etc. (although we like the process of walking) ...
We are now 7.5 months old, maybe then it goes away? Do your children behave the same way? How do you deal with this? HELP!!!We dress like this: put on one thing, sit on the handles, put on another one more time. Although our girl is not capricious (ugh, ugh, ugh) sometimes we turn on advertising. But we are still small.
A completely similar situation. Shouted like a cut. There are two options: if I am in a hurry, then I dress quickly, despite the roar, if there is time, on the contrary, slowly, with entertainments, songs, dances, etc. folklore. Now he also resists dressing with the last of his strength (mine), I catch it all over the apartment, put on one thing, then again breaks free and runs away. The process takes about 30 minutes. We are 1 y. 2 m.
we are a year old. dressing at home - like a rodeo - kicking, running away, catching)))
and when we are going outside, I make such a characteristic sound - like du-du mixed with an imitation of a car engine. then there are no questions, we lie quietly, smiling. but I never deceive, we make a sound only before the walk. to believe in the word))))))))we have the same thing ... .. toddler is 5 months old and he dresses on the street with such a squeal that he turns blue, loses his voice, and sometimes he grumbles so much that he cannot breathe. all sorts of entertainments, songs, jokes do not help. He rolls his eyes and yells out loud (and there are no tears at all, purely OP), as if his leg is being ripped out! Especially violent reaction when we put on a hat. They asked a neuropathologist, she said that this is a normal situation in 70% of children this happens
