I am writing to get some advice/help regarding my 2 year old. My son likes to get into his diaper. This behavior has been happening for quite sometime. Here are the things I have already tried. I duct tape the tabs of his diaper across his diaper to keep him from pulling the tabs off, he is usually in footie pajamas with the feet cut out and it is on backwards so he can't get tozipper or buttons. The PJ thing has been working for us, but most of those PJ's are made for winter-time and it is becoming too hot for them. I did find some cotton ones, but they only go up to 24 months and he is mostly grown out of them, along with that, my son has moderate to severe eczema and this contributes to it because it does not all his skin to breathe properly. I have tried safety pinning his two piece outfits and he figured that out, I bought diaper pins and he got passed that as well. I want him to wear regular clothes because he cannot spend his life in PJ's. I am at my wits end and am desperate for any advice. I cannot even fathom cleaning up another dirty diaper that has been smeared, or my child that has eaten the stuff in the diaper. I am 8 months pregnant and I went through this the other day, yet again, and I just can't do it anymore. PLEASE HELP! lisamarie139
