Someone please help me? I am going mad with this...

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.

@flumpnugget Yes that may work..going to try the grobag idea first though as its much cheaper tbh. If the issue is still there when we are ready for him to move into a bed I will likely have to go with something like that though so thank you :)

@CaffeineDeficitDisorder I wouldn't know where to start with a cloth nappy lol. But I'm gunna have a look round tomorrow..grobag couples with double disposable nappy + cloth nappy too will surely stop him ..hopefully

@Jools1968 My son can't undo the poppers either, but he gets it off anyway. The vests are still poppered up while they are on the floor along with his nappy lol.

@BirthdayBetty That doesn't work unfortunately, was one of the first things we tried.

@Vickyyy the 'wrap' is just the plastic-type cover (not actual plastic these days!) that you put over a cloth nappy. This is an example www.thenappylady.co.uk/nappy-wraps/motherease-airflow-wraps.html.

So in your case you could put on the normal disposable nappy and put this wrap on over the top. It would make it harder for your child to remove the nappy.

My children are 10 and 12 so it's a long time since I used any nappies!

OK so we had no issues last night, not sure if it was because he was so knackered though. He fell asleep at like 7pm and we just took him up asleep. Doubled up on nappies (one backwards and taped), put on an age 9-12month vest that was really really tight (not tight enough to be uncomfortable though) and full pj set. This morning he had the PJs off but hadn't managed anything else. Hopefully this lasts. have ordered a sleeping bag anyway just incase :)
