what's a mother to do? Rolling Eyes

my 21 month old has started removing her diaper, when ever she feels like it.
it doesn't matter how many layers I put on her she always manages to get that diaper!
she took it off in her bed today, and peed all over her bed!! shock

she's not really ready for a potty..

any words of wisdom.....??

(not to mention, if I turn around for a second, then her baby brother is naked too!! [by her doing] she thinks the whole world should go around naked!!!)

Help

Congradulations on her new skill!
Try zip- up pjs (sleepers)
You can cut off the feet if necassary and put them on her backwards

that's an interesting idea....
but what about during the day..?
I mean should she walk around in backwards pj's till she's toilet trained??

In the house, Why not?
Outside try overalls, dresses w/ underwear/diaper covers, keep her busy...

I just found my 26 m.o. in bed naked having unzipped her sleeper and had removed her diaper! I think onesies are the only thing that keeps her minimally clothed.

Oh, and we've tried potty learning. She wakes up dry in the AM. She will sit and sit on the potty, announce "I made!" (she didn't) stand up and pish on the floor. Every. single. time.

gigi at least she only peed in her crib mine took off the diaper and then did her thing and painted it all over!!

but bh if shes wearing pants she doesnt take it off.

she started being more aware of when her diaper is wet/dirty so if I dont change her right away she will start doing it herself pants or not.

My sister-in-law had that problem and she taped her baby's diaper securely by wrapping some packing tape around it. She had to use a scissors to cut it off to change it.

You are going to think I am crazy, but this may have to do with sensory perception. It could be that the little girl cannot stand the feel of that diaper on her body, whether it's the inside part or the plastic liner!

I would suggest trying this: put her in very thick underpants (buy a couple of pairs, the ones for toilet training) and see if she keeps them on.

Or, put her in soft fleece pants without anything on. The pishing all over is no big deal in the house, not so hard to clean up.

I would also get her a little potty to practice on, perhaps the big toilet is scaring her.

Think outside the box!!!

I had a kid who did that and I would duct-tape the diaper tabs. if the kid's behavior is normal with the diaper taped on, you'll know it's not a sensitivity issue. good luck!

Put the diaper on backwards. Put the onesie on backwards and inside out (so the snaps are inaccessible). Make sure to put clothes over this entire apparatus.

Can you tell we've had this issue? Rolling Eyes

Overalls with onesie turtlenecks over the inside out backwards undershirt over a backwards diaper.

Sleeper pj's backwards, over inside out backwards onesie.

Also, you can buy some nylon cloth diaper pants (dappi brand), they're very cheap, like 2 for $5, and put one over the diaper just to keep it on. That worked for us for a while.

I happened to see this thread just as my ds 2yr & 9mo started taking off his diaper.I was laughing as he walked toward me diaper inhand saying "pish". He is working on toilet training.Hope it happens soon.

We had to do the "backwards zipper pajamas" for all three of ours at one time or another.

For us it was only a problem in the mornings. They would wake up really early and start entertaining themselves very quietly while everyone else slept. I guess there is only so much you can do while stuck in a crib.

I have a friend who precuts strips of duct tape to use on Shabbos for her kid's diapers.

ganizzy - my oldest also once expressed her creativity with some crib painting.
