Understanding the Challenges of Dressing an Active Baby

Babies who are actively developing their motor skills may resist being still and having their clothes changed. It is common for children to want to keep moving and not be held down for diaper changes or pajama time. This is a healthy expression of their desire to explore and develop new skills. Parents should approach these situations with the understanding that their child's resistance is not a sign of discomfort or torture, but rather a natural response to wanting to continue moving.
