My 19 month old keeps taking his diaper off what do i do?

Question

every night my 19 month old takes his diaper off, and in the moring if he has pooped he plays with it, and gets it everywhere. sometimes during the day he plays with the outside of his diaper and trys to put his hand down his diaper.

Answer 1

Just because he has learned to take his diaper off does not mean he is ready to be potty trained. If there are other signs that he's ready, then go ahead with it, but taking the diaper off alone is not a sure fire sign that he should be potty trained. Pushing potty training on that sign alone could cause some real rebellion against it.

Try putting pajamas on him that he can't get to his diaper in. Sleepers ( with short sleeves for summer) are a good option.  

Answer 2

potty training

Answer 3

For one, he may be ready to be potty trained.  

Secondly, put him in shorts always....even if it's really hot in the summer, keep him in at least shorts...that way, he won't be able to take the diaper off.

Answer 4

its a sure tale sign he's ready to be potty trained. You could go the pull up route, they are harder to rip the seams and its a kick in the butt for you to get them trained, cause they are expensive! I know I buy the store generic brand and I get 44 pull ups for 15.00... ouch.

As for now, you could use a plastic pant over the diaper, or use duct tape, lol just kidding.

Answer 5

might be time to start potty training but in the mean time, put a full peice jammy on him at night and if he can unzip them or get into them aswell, then put them on him backwards...

Answer 6

My 18 month old just started this.  Keep a onesie or shorts on him.  You'll be safe until he can undress himself.

Answer 7

Have you tried pull up pants? They're harder to take off. But, although he is very young, I agree with people saying he is showing potty training signs. Oh and apparently I did the same thing at about the same age-my parents came in to get me out of my cot and I had poo'ed...It was everywhere...lol!

Answer 8
