Baby Taking off Diaper..
Hello Mamas,
ok, so my feisty 20 month old daughter has proudly learned to undress herself. and she is obsessed with it. problem is, she takes off her clothes and diaper when napping or sleeping. and i am sure you can imagine the mess if she has a bowel movement when naked. i have tried putting her in a onesie on backwards..that worked well for a few days, until she figured out where the snaps were. i have also put her in zip up pajamas, backwards, which is fine except it is very hot these days, and the whole foot thing seems a bit uncomfortable for her. i would welcome any suggestions, we are getting desperate, and pretty grossed out :) thanks

Have you tried putting her diaper on backwards? It's really the diaper that is the problem here, not the clothes. Try putting it on backwards and add some tape to the tabs if you need to.

I also second the duct tape. It seems to be a phase that most children go through and it is less enticing if it does not work at all.

cut the feet off, if you're going to do the zip up foot thing backwards.
I had to duct tape our dd's a few times, just make sure none of the tape gets on her skin.

In addition to putting the diaper on backwards... I also recommend duct tape on those tabs if she's figuring out how to get them off from back there too.

I dont have any advice but I can tell you my 11 1/2 mnth old is already taking off his diaper, and we think it might be because its to hot. is your daughter cool enough?

buy some lightweight pajamas in the next size up to wear backwards, that way there is more room to twist the legs around and the feet will be comfy. or like the other moms said, just cut the feet off if you dont think she will try to get in through the bottoms (mine did sometimes)... plus she will be cooler without the feet

Duct tape. Works wonders and keeps the diapers on my twins, who are the same age as your daughter.
