Hi im Silvia My son Paul who is 15 going on 16. Keeps undoing his nappies. Most of the time its at night. But he does it 1 or 2 times aday. I dont know what to do. I tried drynights. Which was not has good has a nappy. And i dont like pull ups. Becase they are harder to change

Thanks

I'm guessing you ment 15 months going on 16 months... not 15 years going on 16 years

? :S
But any how when you dress him for bed what do you put on him? Like is it just a top and pants? Or do you put on anything underneath? My daughter is 15 months old and for bed she has just the normal nappies then a baby grow and then either her pj's which are pants and a top or a sleep suit and she doesnt take her nappies off at all. So maybe try something like that. Your son might find it harder to undo the buttons of a baby grow and wont be able to take off his nappie so that might help. Also with a baby grow I find it helps keep the nappie in place.

is he taking his clothes off to take his nappy off?

Hes undoing the tags in his tousers. But i think nappies are better to change. Then pull ups

yeah definately, hmm.. thats a tricky one, are there any nappy protectors

? that could maybe go over his nappy to try and stop him opening them

Ill give it a go. Ill have a look on google for them. a He might find away of undoing them still. I change his nappy laying down. Withe pull ups have to take all his bottom part off. Just to change him. I also finding it hard. To find a pvc changing matt. as well

thanks

Ohhh I feel a right shit head now.

Sorry I didnt mean any offence I just wasnt sure and assumed it was months and not years. Sorry again.

I'm not too sure what else to suggest. Have you tried any online site's that might sell nappies that are harder for him to get into? When I was pregnant a friend brought me those plastic sheets you put on ya bed in case of my waters breaking it wouldnt go thru to the matress. I think she said they was only a £1 and you can get them for big beds coz the one I got given was for double bed. Not sure if that can help you...
