  • My daughter with Down syndrome does this. I have her in onesies during naptime and night and put them front to back on (so the zip is on the back) and then I do a sleepingtog over that, again back to front (zip on the back). I just sewed some more thinner summer sleeping-togs, as she’s 4 yrs old and I can’t buy them anymore in her size. The Bonds onesies size 3 fit her still.


  • Good answers! It was interesting reading the comments to this!


  • You could try using good old fashioned cloth and pin nappies. There’s not too much you can do with disposables, unless you dress them in a way they can’t get to their nappy


  • It is a sign he is ready for training pants. He hates the feel of soiled nappies so get him some really cool undies that he chooses as he wants to be a big boys now! Good luck.


  • Hope you succeed. I would also suggest nappy pants I don’t know how old your LO is but maybe ready for toilet training


  • Hope you succeed. I would also suggest nappy pants


  • Mine has decided it is a good idea to take pants off and then the nappy too. I make sure she is wearing a bodysuit now as she cannot get that undone.


  • i hope you had success


  • Hope you managed to find the answer you were looking for.


  • What did you end up doing?


  • Pull-up might be the way to go


  • Maybe using a Nappy pants rather than nappy itself, maybe (cant remember what its called) but overall clips that clip to their pants and go over the shoulders, may help


  • Try singlet suits, it made it harder for them to get the nappy off.


  • I would say that he might be ready for toilet training with the pull up pants. How did you go in the end?


  • Get out that duct tape and wrap it around the waist a couple of times.
