Taking Her Diaper Off

My 2 y/o daughter will not stop taking her diaper off. and a few times it's been a poopy diaper! we tried to start potty training her because she really wanted too use the potty, but i just don't think she's just not ready becuase she will only tell us after she goes in her diaper not before. every once in a while she will tell us before when it's #2 becuse she gets constipated pretty often (can't figure that one out either, she drinks fluids constantly) and it's easy for her to know when that's coming. but now she is just making it into a game to sit on the potty and sing songs, but never do anything. I am really tired of finding stary diapers and a naked child. Does anyone have any tips for keeping a diaper on? I've heard a suggestion of taping the little flaps closed, but my daughter is very small and she can just slide the diapers right off her bum. she can also undo onesie snaps easily. short of making her wear a one piece swim suit under all her clothes i don't know how to keep the diaper on.

What can I do next?

If you're not ready to potty train, put her diaper on backwards and put a snapped onesie on and then jeans. Hopefully by the time she can get out of all the clothes, you can catch her and stop her!

Almost sounds like she's ready for the potty, though...Try some potty training books with her and see if she's interested. My dd potty trained in about a week at 2 years 3 months.

good luck - poop on the floor is a pain!

Don't let her run around in diapers. Put them on backwards with jeans or some pants over them, scold her when she does it and have her help you clean up the mess.
In order to be ready for potty training, she needs to know the urge, be able to hold it and be able to get into the potty without any problems.
I would put her in feety jammies and put those on backwards at night time. If it helps doing the one piece bathing suit then so be it! :) Whatever works. This is such a common thing for kids to do, however it can be really gross, cause health issues if she plays with the poo and all that.
Good luck! :)

Have you tried putting her onsie on backwards? The snaps are in the front so they aren't hard for a little one to undo, but she may struggle a bit more if they are in the back.

I Highly Recommend the Little Keeper Sleeper to solve this problem of taking off their diaper and clothes. Their locking system and non-stretchable made sure my little Houdini could not get out and the long zipper in the back made changing a snap. This sleeper is a sanity saver. I got it from their website www.littlekeepersleeper.com

We found if we duct tape my twins' diapers on and put the tape all around (not just the flaps) and tape end-to-end (no pun intended!) it helps. You will have a harder time taking off the diaper but so will she. Additionally, we put one-peice pjs on backwards. Both help. Good luck!

How frustrating. This is a tough one. But be consistant. She is learning how to manipulate you . If you really want to start to potty train girls are quicker but they need to wear stricktl;y underwear and absolutly no pull ups.

If you are not quite ready then what is her consequence?? Calling her daddy to tell him she is being naughty?? Time out? Since she likes being naked standing her completely stripped down in a cool shower. And then let her stay naked. She will get through this and don't forget to praise her and have a reward chart to show her what a good girl she is.
Good luck and god bless
