Diaper changes

Maybe try giving him some stickers! The sticker texture of them may help distract him, or maybe give him a cold rag to mess with. Does he have a favorite toy? You could see if he’d lay down and get his diaper changed with the toy? Like act like your changing the toys diaper too.
My daughter went through this at about the same age. We practiced body parts (where is your tummy, where is your tummy, where is it, where is it, here is your tummy here is your tummy here it is) we usually make it through several body parts. Also she likes to hold a wipe 🤷♀️
Give him something that’s not a toy but it’s safe for him to play with supervised if that make sense lol my son is 2 and I still have to bribe him with holding a random thing like a bottle of vitamins (closed) just so I can change him. lol
I think it’s the age . My daughter has gotten bad about it too. I usually give her a toy or something she loves but I never let her touch like my phone or the tv remote it usually keeps her still enough for me to change her.
Could he have a special toy that he only ever has access to at changing time. He can pick out something really sensory or visual. Or blowing bubbles or something. To build up that positive connection x
Mine was the same, it’s just a phase but it will fortunately pass. Wish I could help more but nothing worked for my daughter during this phase either.
If you're using pull ups can you change him whilst he's standing? He can lean against something if not super stable on his feet yet/keep playing. Standing up nappy changes for all wet nappies made a huge difference for us
This is around the age I had to start changing my son’s nappy with him standing! His almost 2 now and I’m still changing him standing up and he doesn’t use pull ups🤦🏽♀️. It solved the issue right away however it did mean I had to chase him around at times if he isn’t distracted
@Ashley 🤣
Is he standing up or walking? I would suggest you change his diaper while he is standing up. Once they are mobile they start to need more independence and movement and laying them on their back restrains their movement so they feel constrained.
Second standing up for nappy changes if possible
Following because I'm right there with ya!
