How do you change a diaper one handed while your baby screams

Asking for a friend who tried to change a blowout while holding his baby's hand off to the side. There has to be some technique I'm missing because I felt like I had no arms. Three pee diapers today with no cleanup issues but the second I relax it happens.

The screaming is the worst part because you just want to comfort them but you also need to contain the mess. Honestly sometimes I just lean in and accept the chaos. It happens.

One handed diaper changes are a learned skill my friend. Pro tip: use your leg or hip to stabilize the changing pad while you keep one hand on the baby. Blowouts are no joke though.

Wait until you're trying to change a diaper on a public bathroom counter and there's no changing table. Then you discover muscles you didn't know you had.
