Hates getting dressed?

Vicyi · Sep 14th, 2009, 06:24 AM

Hi everyone, was just wondering if any of your LOs also hate getting dressed? And what you did to get them out of it?
My DD, 2, has recently decided she hates it, i struggle to get her into clothes as she's having a massive tantrum, then i put her in her room to settle down, i go back after 2/3 mins and she is completely naked again! So on goes the cycle!! GRR! I have tries not putting her in her room but unless i physically hold her down she does the same thing. I am 10 weeks pregnant with our second baby and don't know how i'm gonna cope with this once the new baby is here!
Alot of people have said to me this is the perfect time to start potty training her but she still does not seem interested at all! She will sit on the potty fully clothed, and sometime naked, but only for about 5 seconds then gets up, if i see her starting to strain i bring the potty to her and ask if she wants to use it and she just shouts no and throws it across the room?!? HELP!

Ugh, Charlotte hates getting dressed too. She hates laying on her changing table, standing, anything. She throws a pretty good tantrum too. I usually try to make it more fun. I'll give her a clean diaper to play with, put her pants on my head, talk silly...just about anything to help!

Seth too

its a nightmare, he likes to pull things off or run away with one sock on or something, and throws a right good old tantrum. No advice Im afraid but I feel your frustration x

My 17 month old hates getting dressed too. I usually try to get him and my 3 year old dressed at the same time, as he quite likes to copy his older brother. (Top for one, top for the other, trousers for one, trousers for the other etc.) I suppose that only helps if you've got an older child though! I guess you could get yourself dressed at the same time??!
