I know I have ask this before and that is normal for toddlers, but exactly how long those this last, did you do something about it or is something it goes on its own?
My girl went from everyonce in a while to an every day naked thing.
The first thing she does when gets home is get naked, she doesn't take her clothes out side home even if yesterday she tried at the bookstore but I stop her.
Last night I went back to her room after I put her to sleep, and she was sleeping "naked".
My husband travels for work so we have a camera so we can sky and he can log on and see the kids when he can, now I have stared to move the camera away because I just don't feel comfortable to have the camera on when the toddler is always naked.
I can't open the door to th email or a neighbor because I have first to get clothes for the toddler and dress her before I open the door, is something about her sitting all over the place that I just don't feel ok (she is potty trained) no so much for my furniture (ok, a little for that too) but for her.

I know is a normal thing, and I wouldn't mind if this was a every once an while but this is all the time at home now, should I work out my way to keep her clothes or did just would make it worst?
Or just hope this pass on its own (how long your toddler did this for)?

What can I do next?

My nephew always wanted to be naked too, but what my sister did was give him a her size t-shirt (so it was ginormous for him) and made him go around in that. HE LOVED IT. You could try that.

My daughter also loved to be naked, If she is potty trained I think its fine for her to be naked in the house. try not to make a big deal of it. Juts make sure to keep underpants handy, for if neighbor or mailman is at door. If you feel that uncomfortable about her sitting on furniture how about letting her just wear underpants? make sure they are not too tight , she might just not like the feeling of them.. My daughter grew out of the phase in a few month. she moved on to only waering dresses. maybe you can find some type of clothes that you 2 year old just LOVES and then she won't be naked all the time....

Hi, just make her keep her clothes on. If she refuses tell her that she won't have her favorite treat or something else. She'll suffer the consequences. Keep telling her to keep her clothes on by reminding her constantly before you go out, before you return home etc. If she takes them off, put them right back on even if she cries. She has to know who's in charge. It's definitely a phase your daughter is going through.

Definately underwear needs to stay on and how about a longer undershirt so it kind of looks like a dress but is thin (or just a dress) then while in the house she can have the option of the clothes she was wearing or the dress.

I didn't worry about my daughter running around naked at home when it was just us. I often go skyclad around the house as well.
I told her that we put clothes on when we go out in public or when we have company over because being around naked people makes some folks uncomfortable, and so we kept clothes on around others to be polite.

My girls enjoyed wearing their favorite little swim suits all year, the two piece suit does make it easier to potty. Then I used shorts, skirt or a dress as a cover when we had to go out. I am not sure why it worked, perhaps it made them feel special to wear their swim suits.

Most kids can be trained or taught to cover up, and it does get easier as they get older. Kids who enjoy being nude, will generally enjoy the freedom well into their adult lives.

Chemicals will stay in fabric and can be irritating to sensitive skin. I know they treat the fabric with fire retardants. Maybe the laundry soap and or fabric softener you use or chlorine in tap water. There is also the texture of fabrics. Perhaps it’s the type of fabric irritating her skin.

The human body needs sun bath for only 15 minutes in sun light without sun screen, exposing as much skin as possible. It's important in the production of sufficient amounts of vitamin D in our bodies.

Sounds to me like she is happy and healthy having a good time discovering who she is. Best wishes!
