How do you keep a diaper on your active crawling baby?
It's very common for a baby to wiggle out of a diaper once in a while.If you are using cloth diapers, make sure you snugly pin the diaper on both sides. You can also pin the side of the diaper to the baby's T-shirt, but with the pointy end facing the back, not toward the belly. However, the chance increases that the T-shirt will also get wet.If you are using disposable diapers, make sure you:buy the correct sizesnugly attach the adhesive tapes on both sidesfrequently check to see that your baby is dry - soggy or soiled diapers work loose more easily because of the weightif baby is dry but the diaper has not been changed in a while, consider changing it just before the baby is active.Change diapers any time you notice a diaper is sagging.Though it seems terrible to say, many parents have used a strip of regular tape (such as masking tape) over the diaper strip adhesives. (Some dads have used the old standby--duct tape!) Just be SURE the tape is ONLY on the diaper AND that does not touch your baby's skin because it can leave abrasions or irritation! If you have a medical supply store nearby, check into buying paper tape. It is less damaging to skin (but still ONLY have it on the diaper, NOT the skin). Also note, the diaper will pull apart so be sure to put a protective pad down before changing.
