My baby hates diaper changes...
Here is a suggestion that I found helpful:
I insisted on getting a baby wipes warmer for my daughter, even
though other parents I knew made fun of me and said it was yet another
useless gadget for baby-crazed expectant parents. As I could not locate one
in time for her birth, I heated her wipes in tap water, and then later moved
to the wipe warmer. Anyway, this made a huge difference in diaper changes.
Where she would scream and cry when washed with coolish/ room temperature
wipes, she was quiet and content when wiped with warm ones. One day, when I
was away from a sink and could not heat her wipe with water, I placed it on
my bare stomach to warm it up w/ my body heat. WHOAH! THOSE THINGS ARE
COLD!!! No wonder so many young babies fuss! Now I tell every expectant
mother I meet that those gadgets are a necessity, especially for a high
needs baby.

showering will understand this mom's point!
