2 year old daughter keeps taking nappy off at night

[onyva]

Does anyone have any ideas on how I can stop my 2 year old daughter from taking her nappy off in bed? She is in pull ups and can take tights, leggings, trousers etc off easily. She wont use a potty and every night she wakes up screaming in a wet bed or sometimes worse!! HELP!!!

Dungarees with a top over?

We had this as well. I used a babygro, reversed it so that it did up at the rear and he couldn't get out of it.

Alternatively, La Redoute used to make all in ones that do up across the waist at the back. They worked as well.

Think I may just have to invest in a pair - I hadn't thought of that one although its kind of obvious! Thanks

Walesblackbird you are a lifesaver! What a brilliant idea of yours to reverse it! I feel very clueless now but very thankful for your help. Everyone I meet has never heard of a child doing this so I am glad I am not alone!

ahhh this brings back memories
we reversed dd1's baby gros too
worked a treat
I had completely forgotten about that! I wonder if dd2 will do it too?

We also put her in a sleeping back too

bag not back sorry lack of sleep!

I put gaffer tape across the nappy tapes.

Ds did this, dont worry it is just a phase and she will grow out of it. We ended up putting baby vests back on him till he got out of it. Luckily ds is quite little so vests still fit him :)

hahaha been there, done that. we ended up stitching the sleepsuit onto DD every night cos she could till get out of it, even backwards! That was a year ago and after 2 weeks she gave up trying

It is a phase and one we went through too. A nightmare and a mess to clear up with all the sheets etc when they wee!

We used sellotape on the band to stop DS doing this. Also pants (although he took them off!)

After the novelty wore off it stopped!

Could also try a reward system if you DC is likely to accept this!

if you get a poppered vest you can safety pin it closed, and then very hard to get a nappy off...

even more difficult to remove a pant style nappy than one with tabs with a vest in the way.

My friends little one kept doing this at 2 years old - they used sellotape to do the nappy up and he couldnt get it off - however the reversing the baby gro idea seems much more practical!!!

Pyjamas over babygro, and sleeping bag over the whole lot. Works for DS1 (but he's only 19 mos so perhaps he will master the lot soon...)

Bit late but could try the Houdini Locks:

Why is she taking it off? Is she having a between-legs fiddle? DD used to take hers off all the time but now we just leave it loose enough that she can have a poke about if she wants to without taking it off. Seems a bit mean to deny access altogether!
