RE: Help! He screams during his bed time routine.
Wish I had a suggestion for you- I just wanted to post because we have this exact problem. We read a book, take a bath, do massage, then put on diaper and nightshirt and nurse. Our son (about 6 mo now) always fusses and sometimes screams bloody murder when we put his diaper and nightshirt on. Like your son, diaper changes during the day are no problem. So, I dunno why the nighttime diaper and clothing is such a problem! So much for a nice soothing routine, eh?
We have successfully completed the routine without tears a couple times when both my husband and I were available to participate in the goodnight routine- while one of us does the dressing, the other reads a book and shows the pictures to our son. He was sufficiently distracted to forget to cry. Unfortunately, usually there's only one of us at bedtime.
So, anyway I sympathize! All I can figure is maybe he'll get used to the routine and grow out of it?
