My Kid Keeps Taking Off His Diaper!

Born for mischief

How do you stop a 1 1/2 or 2 year old from stripping off their clothes and diaper? I have heard of this happening with other kids but I was unprepared for it to start with my own little one. It started only a couple days ago and he seems to be playing up this little childhood phase with a vengeance. As soon as I put his diaper and clothes back on, they are off again. He begins pulling the straps off as soon as I turn my back.

I put overalls on him to try to confound his efforts to remove his clothes. It worked for a while and then later I found him running around in only his diaper and the overalls were in his sisters crib of all places. However, the diaper was still on so I don't know if getting the clothes off was so exhausting he forgot about the rest or what..

Does every kid go through this phase? What causes it? Can I prevent it in my daughter who will be about this age in another year or so?

Tips on Choosing Baby Furniture

Guest Post By Karina Swim

Walking in a baby furniture store is usually completely mind-blowing - there's a whole lot stuff! The majority of us don't have a limitless amount of money to waste, and if you have not had a baby before, it may be really hard to know what's really necessary, useful, or basically a total waste of time. If you are planning to set up a great gift register at a shop, you want to ensure that the things you put on it are helpful and practical. It can be incredibly confusing.

Baby Learning How to Crawl, Getting Raw Elbows?

Great baby stuff tip:

When your baby is just learning how to crawl, and doing the "army crawl" around the house, she or he can get raw elbows especially on rough carpeted areas. put a little lanolin ( I use Medela Tender Care Lanolin) on their elbows and knees.

It stops the sting and helps protect from more damage happening, along with wearing long pants and long sleeves on them. We all know that's not possible in summer weather sometimes though!

Hope this helps. Let me know what else you have used on baby's chafed skin.

Yeast and Thrush, a Mommy Nightmare

Acidophilus naturally fights yeast
in the digestive tract

There have been a few inquiries lately on what to do about baby thrush and yeast infections. Thrush is a type of yeast infection, and doctor's will normally prescribe Gentian Violet for this. It is messy and stains, and I prefer to use acidophilus as my first resort. Acidophilus is a bacteria naturally in your intestines which aids in digestion. It also fights the natural yeast population also present in your digestive tract.
