Help.. my 18 month old figured out how to unzip her pajamas!?

Question

It gets cold here so she needs to wear a blanket sleeper. She can also unsnap the other kind! What else is there that will keep her warm? She does not like blankets either.
Thanks in advance!!

I should have added that she pulls off socks too.
And i thought about a safety pin but im afraid she will get it off somehow and swallow it?? EVERYTHING goes in her mouth !!

Answer 1

My 27 month old does the same thing. I usually try to layer her clothing warm at night. I usually put on a bodysuit (she still fits into 18-24 months clothing), a fitted long sleeve pjs with fitted pant leggings over that, then her blanket sleeper (which she too manages to take off in the middle of the night sometimes), or a sweatpant and sweatshirt ensemble over everything, and socks of course. Sometimes she takes of her sweatpants off but thats usually towards the early morning hours vs middle of the night. Do you know what the temp in her room is at night? I've read somewhere that usually 65-70 degrees is sufficient (when they're wearing blanket sleepers probably). So maybe raise your thermostat a degree or two at night so she woun't be cold as much.

oh this sounds dangerous but it works. take a safety pin and put it through the little hole on the end of the zipper. fasten it to the pajamas. usually there is a "flap of fabric" that goes over the zipper under the chin. try to fasten the safety under this and try to fasten this to the pajamas. it is kind of like a safety pin sandwich. this way the safety pin is not next to the body or the chin, and the child will not be able to figure it out. ( these are the footie pj's, the ones that the zipper starts at the bottom of the leg and goes all the way up)

hope this helps.

Since she doesn't like blankets or heavy clothing I would say she gets too hot. You don't have to smother a baby. She will be fine with regular pjs and a light blanket, and yes I know all about cold...I spent 18 years in Central New York near Rochester my daughter slept in a diaper and tee shirt year round and never had any problems. Babies just like grown ups get uncomfortable when they get overheated.

We use a type of "girdle" to keep the top and bottoms tucked in. It is actually more like a tube, similar to what skiiers wear - like a head band but much, much, deeper. Our son wears it like a belt around the waste and everything stays tucked in. He is a tosser and turner, so it helps when the blankets and p.j.s get flung all over.

We bought it in Tokyo last year on a trip, and it works great! The elastic is not so tight, and the fabric is sort and with patterns kids like (cartoon characters, superheros, stars, etc.)

I am not sure if this is in U.S. stores, but if you keep your eyes out, you might see it.

It would not harm to aim yet do not push it too plenty. My son is 23 months and he does pass to the potty while he gets up in the morning approximately 5 days each week. some situations he has went for the time of the day. i urge him with Lightning Mcqueen stickers. we've in simple terms began potty education in the previous few weeks. you will possibly be able to desire to teach him the potty and tell him what this is for. try putting him on there while he wakes and after naps. additionally ask him for the time of the day if could use the potty. yet do not assume too plenty from him . He might take to it or he might completely hate it. in simple terms pass with the bypass, if he like it shop on. If he refuses try back later. sturdy success, we the two choose it. i think of for many infants this is a protracted street.

Answer 6

Maybe she's too warm. Try the pajamas from Little Feet that just pull up her legs and pull over her head. But I guess in the mean time just wait until she falls asleep sip everything back up.

Good luck.

Answer 7

Oh, that's a tough problem! Can you get a sleeper that zips up in the back? I once had one for my kids that had a tab that snapped across the top of the zipper. Don't know if that would help though.

Answer 8

My son does not unzip or unbutton-yet anyway but he wears Carters pajamas that tuck into the pajama bottoms and then snap in 3 different places.You could try that if she has not yet figured out how to un-snap.Hope this helps.

Answer 9

Put a safety pin through the top near the zipper so that she can't pull the zipper down anymore or put them on her backwards weird I know but it works.

Answer 10

If she takes off her clothes she will get cold. This is one of those things you have to let her exoerience. forcing clothes on a child who doesnt want to wear any is a very time consuming andobnoxious task. If she gets cold, she'll cover up.
