Son (22 months) has developed a great habit of taking his nappy off once he is in his cot. He does not do this through the day, only in bed at night. Its been going on about a week now and I am really sick to death. Last night we had to strip the cot FOUR times as he had pooed and smeared it everywhere, and peed the other times. Tonight we have had a further poo all over the cot and no doubt a bunch more to go. We simply do not have enough sheets/quilt covers/quilts (when he pees its soaking so we need another actual quilt not just a cover). The house is stinking despite it getting stripped as soon as we find it as we have pee/poo covered washing piles now every night...
We have tried putting his nappy on back to front to make it harder to take off, dressing him in a bunch of clothes, using pullups instead of nappies...nothing is stopping it. He is not ready for toilet training...he makes no attempt to let us know he wants to go. He Drifts off to sleep then as soon as he wakes nappy is off again and same thing over and over, so staying with him til he falls asleep doesn't help either.
I don't know what I expect given my health visitor has no answers for me but just incase anyone else has been through this, to even tell me you have been through the exact same stress would be a slight comfort right now. I'm thinking my kid is abnormal and this constant changing his bed is really getting to me so much.
