2 Year Old Pajama/diaper Houdini

My 2 year old will NOT keep his pajamas or diaper on at night. We tried onesies underneath (he pulls them until the snaps give, then proceeds to remove the pants then the diaper, then pees all over), backward diaper (barely slowed him down), and even painter's tape lightly around the waist of the diaper (he tore the diaper in half so the waist was still on, and the rest was hanging down...and peed in his crib). We were told to try backwards feetie pajamas, and they do work - but it's getting warmer out, and I am concerned he will be too...

Fall/winter Wardrobe for a 12 Month Old Boy?

Hi ladies, So I'm trying to buy most of my son's clothes used and a huge fall/winter consignment sale is being held near me later this month. I'm trying to figure out exactly what he'll need for this fall and winter. I don't really want to overbuy, but I don't want to get into the season, forget something, and have to buy it full price. He's tall and seems to grow out of his clothes about a month (or more) ahead of schedule. He'll be a year old at Thanksgiving so I'm thinking the 12 month clothes will be too small by around Halloween...

A Different Kid- a Different Set of Potty Training Problems!

My sons finally day trained between 3 1/2 and 4 years old with MUCH effort on everyone's part. So I was just fine to WAIT with my 2 1/2 year old daughter. But no...she clearly is ready as far as knowing when she has peed and pooped because she takes her pull-up off whenever she does. She wears underwear a lot around the house, pull-ups when we go out. I would be fine to put her in underwear all the time and just deal with the accidents, but I have no idea what to do at night. She is still in a crib, which we can convert to a toddler bed, so...

5 Month Old Still Spitting up Frequently...

My 5 month old son, Jaxon, spits up constantly! We're not talking the average spit up. It's projectile happening multiple times during feedings and in-between feedings...EVEN if he has taken a super long nap. And it's massive amounts, not just a few tablespoons. He's spit up like this since birth. I breastfed for 6 weeks and he even spit up with that. I've tried: feeding him less (which doesn't work because he spits up so much, it's not too long and he's hungry again), I've mixed cereal in with his formula, I've tried burping him...
