Help! My daughter keeps getting into her dirty diapers!!
Are there any other moms going through what I am right now....My 2 year old daughter has been getting into her poopie diapers and getting poop everywhere! She gets it all over her crib, the walls and today she did it while she was in her playroom and I had to clean and disinfect a ton of her toys. She has done this 5 or 6 times now. I am going to go insane if she keeps doing this but I don't know how to get her to stop! Does anyone have any suggestions for me?! Please Help!! Thanks!

have you tried putting a onsie on her so it is harder for her to get into her diaper? i know my daughter (2) has shirts that are onsies~~~ well snapped, same with jumpers, anything to make it alot harder for her?

I do put her to bed in onsies. She gets in the diapers from the side of them. I just read on Babycenter.com to give them a "cold shower" and several people have said that worked for them. I think this is going to be my next option although it sounds really cruel. Thanks.

I would say put on shorts over the onsie maybe, and tell her no touch poopy, yucky!! She could get very sick from it something called Rotovirus which is a stomach virus and start vomitting, if she ingested the poop or put in in her mouth. Good luck and just try to redirect her!!!

you try the coveralls too, those all usually long enough (short coveralls) that she would not be able to get into it.

I just had to laugh at aprils comment, that sounds like something my hub would say.

Thank-you all for you help and suggestions!! Sorry it took me so long to respond back. It has been pretty hectic around here. I gave my daughter her first "cold shower" and she went two full weeks without getting into her diaper. She got into her diaper two days ago but I caught the beginning so it wasn't too bad. I think it has a lot to do with her trying to get it out because she doesn't like it there. In the morning I have been getting her out of her crib as soon as she wakes up and this helped too since she didn't have time to get into her diapers. I am glad to know I am not the only one going through this and I am hoping it will get better and she will soon learn to go on the potty!! Thanks again!!

If she is geting in to the side of her diaper then its a little hard to keep her from geting in to it. My son did that for a wile but he would take the diaper off all together so I no longer put him to bed with out a onsie and shorts or paints if the paints are a little tight that helps too then he can not get them off.

Good luck.

I would try potty training when my daughter started doing that we started going to the potty and haven't used pull ups or diapers ever since. but if you don't want to potty train yet then try pull ups. but it sounds like she may be ready for the potty. hope this helps.

My 16 month old likes to help clean herself when she has a dirty diaper. I give her wipes because that's better than her using her hand while I struggle to keep her out of it. Maybe your little one would benefit seeing and helping you clean it up. Maybe let her wipe her leg (after you have of course) and let her see the poo and wipes put into the potty. I don't think it'd hurt for her to see that big girls put poo in the potty and if she uses the potty then there is no big messy clean up and cold showers. This way maybe she'll understand the steps toward potty training-if she doesnt' want poo in her pants she'll know she wants poo in the potty, so all that's left is for her to recognize when she has to go potty.

Both of my boys have gone through that stage and with both of them. With both of them it was their first sign of potty training readiness. so i would suggest that you try that also try putting pants on her to keep her out of her diaper in the mean time as long as she hasn't started undressing herself that was enough to keep mine out. Also please note that The primary mode of transmission of rotavirus is the passage of the virus in stool to the mouth of another child. This is known as a fecal-oral route of transmission. Children can transmit the virus when they forget to wash their hands before eating or after using the toilet. I'm not saying that its OKAY for her to do that because stool has lots of bacteria and viruses in it but she can't get Rotavirus from eating her own poo.

I can relate to your situation! My 21 month old son is always taking his diapers off. It doesn't matter if he has onesies on or tighter pants. He manages to get everything off! I have had my share of cleaning up poop from just about every area of my house! I do allow him to sit on the potty and all but he is still in the beginning stages of the potty training. It's more fun to flush the toilet and wash hands. If I try to get him out of the bathroom, because I have a 3 year old as well as a 15 month old whom I babysit, and I just don't have the time to spend in the bathroom, he gets very upset and tells me he has to pee. I have to confess that potty training, to me, is the worst part of raising children! I absolutely hate it! And I am so done with pee and poop all over the house! My 3 year old is in underwear, but still will have pee accidents, at least once a day, if not more, and he will poop in his underwear.
So I sympathize with you!
