My daughter takes off her clothes every night.

Put zip up pajamas on her backwards; also, does she run hot hot by chance? You could turn the temp down in her room if that's part of why she's undressing.
My son’s been doing this too. We still have a monitor I’m there so we know if he does it and we can go in and re dress him. We say hey let’s keep our clothes on because we don’t want to pee on ourselves. Or we don’t want to be cold. Tell her something that’ll make it make sense on why she shouldn’t do it. Not in a you’re being bad way.
@Truth❤️🔥 I usually tell her to keep her diaper and clothes on. The first few times I told her calmly but after 2 weeks I get frustrated and tell her I’m going to take her toys or doll away.
@Sarah great idea, I think it’s a control thing for her. She likes to do everything herself.
@Gabrielle yea im going to start paying attention to the monitor. Sometimes she un plugs the camera in the room too. Or sometimes she’ll undress while im asleep. Lol I know she knows it pisses me off 😂. Can’t wait until this is over.
@Sarah so I tried this. The first night she kept it on. The next night she managed to take it off. Idk how? I am just so tired at this point 😩
Layer your sheets so clean up is easier: 1: mattress protector 2: fitted sheet 3: mattress protector 4: fitted sheet When she has an accident in the middle of the night you can just remove the top two layers and you don’t have to completely remake the bed. It’s a lot faster. I would also look to understand why she’s removing her pajamas. If it’s control, maybe let her pick her pjs at night and if she wants to remove them let her. If you’re in a power struggle she’ll probably keep trying to find a way to “win”. If she’s removing them because she’s hot or uncomfortable maybe she needs different pjs. If she’s removing them because she knows you’ll come in at night, maybe she misses you and needs more connection and hugs before bed so she can fall asleep peacefully 🤷♀️ I’d say start by trying to understand what her actions mean and talk with her about how you can resolve the issue together. Offer some solutions and see which ones she likes.
My son is potty trained during the day and occasionally still has night accidents, I bought dog training pads and lay them under his sheets, it’s cheap and easy way to clean up. As far as the pjs, if she’s taking them off I would just let her 🤷🏼♀️ maybe she’s uncomfortable and doesn’t want them. Most nights my son doesn’t sleep with pants or sometimes no shirt, even if it’s a bit cooler at night, I just make sure to layer his blankets. Try allowing her to sleep without the pjs and see how she sleeps. Also if she’s peeing thru the diaper it may be too big or too small which causes her to wake up from being wet. I know it’s tiring, this time will pass, just remain patient.
How do you speak to her when you approach this matter?
