Solutions for Luke

We've tried a couple of solutions to the diaper dilemma. The most successful one being the duct tape. Even our pediatrician said his daughter uses it every day to keep her 2-year-old's diaper on him! Another good solution that was recommended is putting his diaper on backwards so he can't fiddle with the tapes.

We thought about pull-ups, but then he'd just push them right down. He just wants it off... he doesn't necessarily want to go potty regularly yet.

The backwards diaper is easier to put on than messing with the duct tape, but the duct tape is way more secure. I had a heck of a time getting it back off. But after Luke taking off a poopy diaper in his crib the day before yesterday and getting poop all over, and then him handing me another one yesterday afternoon, I realized we had to go with the most secure solution.

He doesn't quite tell me before he has to go, so we keep trying the potty; but it's very irregular and usually after the fact. Oh well.

Thanks everyone for all your helpful solutions and tips!

Hahahaha--that's great that it works!! I actually got the idea from my dad...one time he was watching Reese, and changing a diaper, and the tab ripped off. Rather than waste a perfectly good diaper he went for the tape. Smart dad.
