   Its my week for questions. This ones a doozy....
 DD (18 months) has for the last few days pulled off her nappy during her nap.javascript:AddSmileyIcon('  ')
  (by all accounts she's done it  when put to bed given the nappy was dry and the bed, and cuddly very wet).
 This has meant  she has woken up an hour earlier than usual as she must get to the point that she's wet and uncomfortable.  I have been putting her to bed in a singlet and cotton sleeping bag with the sides undone and the fan on. 
 Possible solutions:
 -putting her down with a coth nappy on as the domes seem harder to undo?
 -put shorts on for sleeps
 I guess maybe toilet training? - not sure if she's capable of holding it in tho.
 Any other ideas?

   Bodysuits? I use bodysuits on DD still, only because my Mum just got me a whole heap more in size 2 but they stop her taking anything except her pants off |

   I have heard some orror stories about dirty nappies being taken off in bed so I have always had pants on the boys at nap time so they can't get their nappy off. 
 I recommend shorts, bodysuit or knickers over the nappy
 
 Good Luck!

   When my DD was in nappies I would always put shorts on over the top. The two times I forgot I found her prancing around naked in a puddle of wees    (lucky no #2s lol)

   Shorts on top should work and the cloth nappies with snaps are a lot harder to undo than the others, if you need to! It's probably just a fun thing to do since she is undoing it before she wets. Soon she'll be trying to dress herself!!

   The little girl I look after has just been through this.
 Her mum was getting really frustrated & started using nappy pants & then one day spoke to her about it & told her that she had to keep the nappy on or something like that & if she had the nappy on when she got up then she got big praise, she learnt very quickly. Her Mum said, well what do you know we can reason with them from a young age!

   I had my youngest come up to our bed at 3am and take his bloody nappy off....while still wearing his PJ shorts.     Bottom line, I have learnt that any time I put him to bed with just a nappy on , he will take it off...quite quickly!

   Laughing at  all these cheeky monkeys!
 In a bodysuit today - fingers crossed! Apparently 1/2 the kids at playcentre have done it too. One Mum has singlet bodysuits which  she's giving me.
 
 Luckily no.2's tend to only come first thing in the morning and later  in afternoon, dear god the thought of  that getting out and all over the cot  is scary!

   Busymum - turning MS - tummy- another good reason not to give into excessive raisin demands!

   Ewww about the "recycled raisins"!
 I like the knickers idea!  We also use PJ shorts over nappy at sleep time, or we'd have the same problem!

   My friend safety pinned (with big cloth nappy pins) her DD's nappy over the fasteners which worked a treat. Luckily my DS naps in his sleeping bag so he can't get to his nappy.

   We use a cloth nappy outer with the snaps on it, over the top of the nappy.  Or a body suit, or last resort, my husband used a piece of big thick packing tape to tape down the nappy tabs!
