DS is 2 this week and has learnt how to get out his grobags which is a bit of a PITA. Wondered if anyone had any genius ideas of how they stopped this happening ? or does it sound like time to move him out of them ? Baby number 2 is due in a few days so don't really want to move him into a bed until all the new baby stuff has settled down.
Thanks

Turn it inside out.

back to front has worked here

LOL at gaffer tape !
Will try inside out. The back to front wouldn't work as they are all higher at the back than the front - if that makes sense.
any more for any more ?

put it on backwards.

SleighGirl · 18/01/2010 19:40

The higher bit didn't bother mine.

The nappy pin thing works though, I had a hardened escapee!

Just been up there and put him back in an inside out bag. If that doesn't work then I am off to buy some nappy pins tomorrow.
thanks

DD2 (just turned 2) didn't find a way out but just decided she didn't want to be in it any more the night before she turned 2. We had a night in hospital and as we shared a bed I didn't put her in it. She obviously realised she had a choice, and that was it.

Now she refuses to have a blanket or sheet or anything over her, just goes to sleep without anything. I go in after she has fallen asleep and tuck her in but she rolls around so much it usually all comes off.

She's usually upside down in the morning.

Ours has his on back to front, which seems to work well with him. He also wears the heavy sleepers this way as well.

i stood on the stairs quietly and listened. when i heard the rip of the velcro on the nappy (!) i stormed up the stairs loudly, threw open the door and stood and glowered at her. i didnt have to say a thing. she burst into tears and has never done it since!

this was a last resort after ages of her getting everything off, me sewing buttons on her grobag (with the buttons on the inside) and peeing the mattress on numerus occasions)

Triggles · 19/01/2010 14:20

pillsthrillsandbellyaches - I had to read that a couple time - first time I read it, for some reason, I read it that YOU peed the mattress and I was but makes more sense that she did

Our DS was stripping his off and weeing and pooing on the floor, so we had to find a way to make sure it couldn't happen again. Putting the suit on backwards works for us now. If he figures it out, then I'll switch to inside out and backwards. Hopefully it won't come to that.

wish i'd thought of backwards before!
my 3 year old with autism has destroyed the zips on 2 of em by chewing em so much.

we ended up getting the zips removed and replacing with velcro.

Turn up the heating and manage without one.

PolarMummy · 21/01/2010 15:32

Put him in a furry sleepsuit and ditch the grobag, worked a treat for us :-)
