Playing in diaper

My 2 year old is constantly playing in his diaper. It has gotten to be such an issue because he does it with poop and just plays with the poop. I’m 8 weeks postpartum and dealing with PPD. I mentally just can’t handle this. We started only letting him wear pant/long sleeve onesies/zippies but he will stretch the clothes so he can still shove his hand in his diaper. I’m losing it 😩😭 he is causing me so much extra anxiety since I’m alone with the kids majority of the time. It’s hard to change is diaper immediately like I use to. does anyone have any advice??

Advice you won't like. Potty training time?

@Kyla honestly, it’s not that I don’t like that advice, I’m just struggling with how to get started. I was going to potty train prior to his sister being born. Literally have all the stuff to get started. He is nonverbal so trying to figure out how to handle the communication aspect has been my problem.

@Sarah my husband has ADHD so we know it’s a possibility. My son was also evaluated for autism. We’re just waiting on the report to confirm. I think it’s just a lot at one time. We didn’t have this issue before she was born so it was a lot to add in to bringing a new baby home 😣 I know it can be developmentally normal, just not sure how to handle it. I thought it was getting better since it’s been almost 2 weeks since he’s done this but it happened last night and again this morning 😮‍💨

The non verbal thing definitely has me stumped. So, when I was worried about my dude messing with his diaper, but wanting him cooler in the summer nights, I found some short sleeve, shorts, zip up pj's. So, kinda like a onesie? Granted at the time he didn't know how to work a zipper... Think that would help? Or keep him in anything full body (like footie pj's).

I’ve seen some hacks where people will put the full zip up pajamas backwards to discourage them from unzipping. It’d have to be pajamas without the feet part or maybe cut an opening on the feet if that’s what you have. Might be worth a shot 🤷🏻‍♀️

@Kyla that’s all he wears at home currently because I thought it would help.. he just stretches the fabric into his diaper 😵‍💫

@Jasmin unfortunately, he stretches the fabric into his diaper so it wouldn’t matter if it was backwards 😅
