pulling diapers off!

[asoulunbound]

dd is 11 mths old and just started raking her velcro covers off. ideas on curbing this? we bedshare so it got pretty wet the other day.

A snap diaper cover, putting big girl undies on over the dipe, a onsie on so she hopefully cant get to it, w/winter coming how about footy jammies on backwards Good luck thats frusterating.

Layers. A onesie and then pants over it, or something along those lines.

Snap covers(although DS figured out those about a week after he figured out velcro/aplix covers) and layers. I've actually been putting wool over everything now for bed, even pockets, to keep DS from getting the diaper off. I even have a thin wool soaker that I use over his pockets but under pajamas(for when I don't use his wool longies)

Layers worked for us, too. We called it DS's "armor."

Also, doesn't prorap make a cover with a belt to secure it on?

[mamapixie]

Prorap does, but it still goes on with velcro, then buckles. My older son had a few covers like that, and he managed to get out of those even with the buckle.

[asoulunbound]

Thank you for all the ideas. what specific brands do you reccomend?

We used Bummis snap wraps, but she eventually figured those out as well. Onesies are I think your best bet.

ah the fun stage : ) I highly suggest the Pro rap cover, it has a buckel : ) And its not real expensive plus works well.

I've had success with putting the cover on backwards. I like Bummis, I have a few Thirsties covers in the mail, I'll let you know how those work out.

I don't have any diapering advice to add, but I just wanted to say that my dd was the same way, hated diapers! After months of fighting it, light finally dawned and I brought out the little potty when she was around 16mo. She was fully potty trained by 18 mo, even at night! So if she's still doing it in a few months, maybe give early potty training a try.

This is the EXACT reason I used to love pins and pull-up pants! I tried one or two velcro wraps, and found that DD1 could take them off herself. When I used those, I needed to put her in a onesie, backwards, and use a diaper pin to keep it closed. She could pull on the onesie and unfasten the snaps otherwise. It was far simpler to use a pinned flat or prefold with a pull-on cover. That was already a layer over the diaper and she couldn't get it off.

I was similarly upset when dispsable diaper companies switched from tape to velcro. Babies couldn't open the tape themselves!

: Pins and pull-on covers or wool are the best.

And tie the drawstring of the soaker in the back.

I switched to side snapping diapers at that age. It's harder for them to get the leverage to undo the snaps (DS can undo front snaps as well as snappis)
