I'm having problems with her keeping her diaper completely on at naptime, and morning wake up time.
I believe it's for multiple reasons, including: learning to dress and undress, she likes to wear no shirt to bed, but will wear her diaper and panties/or shorts/or pants. She is also discovering her parts.
For several months now she also likes to go "pee", which means sitting on the potty with no pants. She has not yet actually gone pee or poo in the potty, but she does sit there good by her own choice. I don't think she is physically ready to potty train since her diapers are wet after nap times. She is telling me occasionally Pee, and recently started saying Poo after she goes. So the awareness is there and developing.
I have tried different clothes at nap time, including onesies, but she can wriggle them off. Seriously considering duct tape... LOL.
I thought about getting a few cloth diaper covers to fit on over her diaper, to catch anything leaking/falling out, since she seems to keep the diaper barely tabbed on to itself. She either wakes up with one side attached or both sides barely attached. Occasionally she has everything off, and has peed on her bed. I'm not sure though, that I want to invest money into cloth since she will probably potty train soon.
Also, she is very skinny. Wearing 18 months, but I don't think I want to do rubber pants since they are so gigantic.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Well, she wanted to go potty. After 4 days of backwards dressing, backwards diapering, taping the diaper shut (that worked btw, but she was not happy) and changing multiple sets of sheets every day, on the 4th day she came to me and said "Pee". I took her to the potty and within a few minutes she went, in her potty. So, we started a routine of letting her have a 1/2 hour of naked time before bed, then set her on the potty, then put her down for a nap or bedtime. She went on the floor a few times, but more than not, she will go on the potty when naked. When she puts clothes on over no diaper, she wets herself. So, we've been doing this for a few months. We have potty time at nap time and bedtime.
After those first few days, the stripping stopped, once she had expressed her desire to go on the potty. Also after that, she started wanting to dress herself, and has gotten pretty self sufficient, except she likes to wear pj's everywhere.
duct tape is the way to go....
Good Luck
Put some 1 piece zip up footie jammies on her with the zipper in the back. My daughter is 22 months and is a little nudist and she can't get out of that.
Good luck
Get the Little Keeper Sleeper. NO safety pins, duct tape or putting sleepers on backwards. Don't put your child in a sleeper that doesn't fit correctly, especially around their neck. This company created the perfect sleeper that all parents of toddlers should have. See for yourself at http://www.littlekeepersleeper.com
My daughter went through this phase. She took off her sleeper and diaper - what a mess! I did not like putting the pj's on backwards because the way it fit around her neck or using duct tape. I found this sleeper on the web, it's called the Little Keeper Sleeper. It worked miracles and I never had to clean another dirty crib! I'm so glad I found this sleeper. It works Great!!! Check them out on the web at www.littlekeepersleeper.com.
LOL, I couldn't stop laughing because both resposes you have gotten, I have tried! And, I go trough the same thing! My daughter is just about 22 mos and loves to become a nudist in her sleep too! Wouldn't be a problem if I didn't have to change the sheets everytime! And both are good ones! I also like to run her ragged before bedtime...so she doesn't have time to think about her clothes! Otherwise she wears a onesie AND pants to bed! Because pure exhaustion and all that work - she wants nothing to do with it!
