DD undresses herself!

Gold Member Joined: Mar 05 2007 Posts: 1612

My dd started this new thing every night. She undresses herself sometime during the night. She wakes up but doesnt really cry, just takes her bottle, talks to her teddy bears and undresses herself! Very Happy

In the morning I find her half naked or fully naked and she's usually freezing cold from being this way all night. She wears the one piece pjs but manages to pull off the two piece ones as well. Any suggestions how to keep that kid dressed???
Oh and getting her dressed again while she's asleep isn't an option. She's a terrible light sleeper and wakes up. Once up she'd undress herself again anyway so no point.

I used to put their onesies on them backwards until they outgrew this stage. It can be quite cold for them at night otherwise.

It must be so uncomfy backwards because her toes won't fit properly.

if it's big enough to be baggy, it'll fit OK.

Mine started doing this too in the last couple of weeks.

I tried taping the diaper, but it was hard to get off in the morning and anyway the pjs came off.

What worked best for us was the backwards pjs. He has not figured that out.

I also heard about safety pinning the top of the zipper , but we didn't try that.

I know he's going to take off his Purim costume too because he's obsessed with zippers & the independence of taking off clothing himself.

DD does exactly the same, and yes, I put on her onesies backwards and her one piece sleeper with the zipper in the back, while she yells "it's not the right way". Ask a Rav? For what? If I should let my DD remove her pamper and have my big boys coming to my room night after night that DD is totally naked? OK, I'll ask if it's preferred backward clothing over naked kids.
Please stop suggesting there is a shaila when there really isn't (I mean these kids are under three, for heaven's sake)!

How about using a onesie pyjama with a zipper?

I have this in double, B"H. I tried putting on backwards (never thought about the correlation with forgetting, which is something I'm normally very careful about Embarassed

). My twins help each other with any clothing they find tricky to do themselves. I am seriously considering duck tape on their diapers - they are found totally starkers about once a week or so at this point. Queen

Before using the safety pin for the zipper, please consider the fact that it is right by the neck, and it could c'v open in the middle of th night.......ouch

Ha! I also have two nakkie babes! One does it to voice his displeasure at being kept waiting in the morning before he's released from his crib and the other does it stam until she decides that she is cold. Razz

Cold eh? Wonder how that happened?

B"H they can't undo overalls, so that's one solution, the other is just to make sure their room is warm enough. I've started mentioning how Hashem wants them to wear clothes, cuz when they hit 3 it'll be a little less funny (publicly funny, I can't help giggling about it in private!)

Greenfire, I already took many cute tushy pics of her sleeping! Very Happy

You people suggest I turn her pjs inside out? Or backwards as in zipper in back? I tried the backwards but she had no place for her toes and kept on pulling as if really uncomfy by the feet.

I think I'll try doing it inside out. I doubt she'll figure out how to unzipper from the inside. Actually I'm quite confident she WILL figure it out but it'll buy me some time.

does the option of buying PJ's without the feet help? At least like this you can definitely close it from the back. The only problem would be that she'll probably take her socks off.

I don't like those without full legs. She doesn't stay covered and her feet get cold. Socks is definitely out of the question... I have a fight putting them on every morning!
