How do you stop a child from removing their diaper and playing in their poo?

My granddaughter used to do this. We put clothes on her that she couldn't get off...things that closed in the back...no snaps...whatever we could find that was hard for her to remove. We even got to the point where we used tape around the top of her diaper...not on the skin...to prevent her from pulling the tabs. Kids have no revulsion...they don't care if it's poop. I remember trying to potty train my daughter, and her little brother would get to the potty chair and play in the poop if I didn't empty it right away. She will outgrow it.

One of the main reason why she probably remove her diaper is she feels very uncomfortable, try to buy a new brand that feels like very cloth-like, or the one that they called "pull-ups" ,.or if your baby still doesn't like the feel. try to buy the modern cloth diapers, she won't think that it's a diaper because it doesn't feels and look like one.. hope this helps.

I guess yourdaughter is toddler. My elder son used to do it and my younger son is doing it. I scolded my son, but he laughs.He does not remove in sleep. The only option I can think is to use one more piece of tape to fasten it. This is just a stage hwen they do it. After a month or two, they will stop it. So stop worrying.

I've never had any of my kids do this. One of my friends son used to do it. She use to take a sleeper and put it on backwards. Little ones usually cant figure out how to unzip it backwards. Like others have said she will out grow it. Children do a ton of things that make us parents cringe but they do out grow it. Good luck with the potty training and good luck with stopping her playing in her poop.

Hi, It needs lot of patience when handling with kid. SInce you have started potty training your daughter,then you may consider to let her diaperless during her nap time. Of course,accident may still occurred and you just need to spent more time to train her. For me, I started to potty train my son when he was 15 months old. I let him diaperless during day time at home. I bought him the most basic potty pot and put it in the living room,to make him convenience to pee there. I told him repeatedly to let me know when he wanted to pee/poo. Of course, during the starting part,he may not get it right.It is okie...slowly teach him and always remind him. I will ask him to sit at potty for pee every hourly,be it,got pee or no pee, he will sit there. To make the situation more fun,you can sing a song together with your kid when she sit at potty or let her watch her favourite cartoon. Always remind her again and again to pee/poo at her potty. Do rewards your daughter when she does it well.Give her some healthy snack or her favourite fruits as her reward. If you have let your daughter to be diaperless during day time(during nap time),then she won't have change to take off her diaper and played with it. It does help to solve your problem. Since your daughter is sleeping in the crib,before she goes for nap,let her pee first,it may avoid a pee accident to wet her mattress. ALso lie a protector on top of the mattress,at least if she did pee there, the mattress won't get wet. Hope my tips can help you up.Good luck!!

Luckily I never had to deal with my children playing in their own poop, but I definitely did have to deal with them taking off their diapers during the night and during nap time. What I found worked for me was to put them in zip up pajamas and then use safety pins to hold the zipper up so that the children weren't able to take them off. I only had to do this for a couple of weeks before they learned that they weren't to take off their clothes while they were in the bed.

Well children can do just about any messy things if not carefully watched. I think you should take note of your child's poo time so that you can watch over her on that particular time and clean her immediately after she did her thing so she will not have time to play with it.
