#1 cut the feet off footie pajamas and put them on her backwards so she can't reach the zipper.
#2 duct tape her diaper on. Don't put the tape on her skin! Just around the top of the diaper so it's tight and she can't get to the tabs.

I too have this problem with my two year old so I cut the feet off off all her Pj's and put them on her backwards! She can't reach the zipper to get them off. Problem solved for me!

Good luck!

I always put a onesie and or overalls on my kids when they did this. Really hard to get the diaper off. If you have zippered Pjs, I would just safety pin the zipper pull to the pjs so my kids couldn't pull it down. Good luck.

Try the years old trusty duct tape! Wrap it all the way around her. Annoying? Yes, but it keeps the child strapped in. It's pretty common for some kids to like to go buff. Is she training during the day? She's obviously not liking the wet directly on her which is worse than laying in it.

I have a 18 month old that trys to take her diper off, I do as others mentioned and put her in a onies, then she can't take it off! Also with my first child who is now 4, when she started trying to take her diper off, I switched her from dipers to pull-ups, they are not as easy to "take-off". Both situation worked well for us.
Good luck!

Have not read the other responses below but:

1. Put her in footed pajamas backwards so she can't unzip or take her clothes off.

2. Start putting her on the potty and in underwear during the day.

3. Put double diapers on (one backwards) and see if she can still figure it out.

4. Take off the sheets and only cover it with that plastic-y sheets.

Try putting her in a onsie and shorts or pants over that. That way it makes it much tougher for her to get the diaper. Also, at 2 you can tell her touching her diaper is a no no.

Is she potty training? I wonder if she's taking it off because she needs to go to the bathroom.

try a pull-up. She might not want to take it off if she's a 'big girl' now.

I use onesies or long zippered pjs. I would also duct tape for this. My problem wasnt taking the diaper off but instead my son would take himself out of the diaper, so it was just scrunched down in front but still on. Duct tape didnt help with that.

I have yet to experience this problem, but I'm sure we'll get there soon (my son is 16 months old). Anyway, while at lunch with other mothers this issue was brought up. The group suggested that the mother in question would put a onesie on the child to prevent him/her from grabbing at the diaper. Another suggestion was to put the diaper on backwards (the front part on the butt and the butt part on the front) so that the child couldn't get to the side thingy's and un-do them. Hope this helps!!

You could try putting her in jammies or a onesie or romper she can't take off so she can't get to the diaper. Maybe she's sick of the diapers and it's time to start potty training?

I've been considering the options because my 1 year old has just discovered she can peel the tape strips back, and I figure it's just a matter of time before she peels one off and releases a flood.
