Naked Baby Challenges

So you know something I never thought I'd have to deal with on my THIRD child (just another way to show you birth individuals, not little clones of yourself and that each one is their own person and not copies of each other):one who undresses herself and sleeps in her own urine!

If you look under the monkey, you'll see her
Stain...that she's sleeping in *gross*

Our little Lucy has gone through a phase where she not only takes off her diaper, but at night she takes off her pajamas AND diaper and ends up wetting the bed (without any crying or talking to let us know she's going through this). It seemed to start when we started putting her in footie pants because she was scratching her feet to the point of bleeding throughout the day, but she was slipping so much with those that we kept her in footie pajamas and she'd just stretch out the next hold and slip right out during the day that she started to do it at night too. 

This has become SUCH a challenge for us too. We've done everything we can think of to stop it.  We put her diaper on backwards, we even tried taping them all around so she can't take it off. We bought 2T onesies to wear (since she was doing this during the day as well), but she figured out how to stretch out the neck and slip out of those. We found one outfit that she couldn't stretch the neck out so we tried that, but she figured out how to undo the snaps on the bottom. We bought new footie pajamas to cut off the foot parts and put on backwards, she figured that out. We bought child proof safety pins to put on the backwards pajamas, that worked for about a week, but then she figured out how to snap those off (which got to be a little too dangerous). Larry even spent the first couple hours of the night watching her on the monitor to stop her from stripping down and that worked, until she stripped down in the middle of the night and we didn't know until the morning. Then we'd check on her until we went to bed and she'd stay dressed, but it seemed like around 2 AM we'd hear her make noises and that seemed to be the time she'd strip. Sorry to say, but I wasn't willing to get up with her to stop it or re-dress her at that point (figuring if she really wanted to sleep in her pee she can go ahead and do that. In my defense I had a 4 month old I was also getting up to help sleep)

After dealing with this for MONTHS we were going crazy. I was changing sheets every day, sometimes multiple times a day if she wet the bed at nap time as well. Laundry was getting insane. Larry did some searching and found the best solution there ever was:

This romper set is sold by a company called "Terrible 2's" and has literally been the answer we were desperate for! I had no idea something like this existed! We had a slight issue of Cara undressing at night, but she kept her diaper on so the fact that these miracle pajamas exist and we found them is so great! We bought this pink set and after it working for a couple weeks we bought a couple more sets (some that are more unisex just in case Pierce goes through this phase as well) so we can switch them out each week. While I'm sad we are stuck with only 3 pajamas she can wear and none of the other cute ones, I'd MUCH rather have that than gross pee sheets and that awful smell in the room (not to forget ALL the laundry). Now if only we could figure out how to get her to stop scratching her feet throughout the day!
