I have ignored him but he is also a kid that is uncomfortable when he pees in his pull up/diaper and needs to be changed right away which is why he takes it off. So I could continue to ignore him and have him stand naked at the bottom of my stairs or what I have been doing is changing him quick and then he will stay on his cot for the 2nd hour. Today though he peed twice. My gut says leave him and he will learn and stop taking off his diaper but sometimes I doubt my gut.
Yup. Listen to your gut. He is playing you at naptime. Does he do this several times throughout the night whilst at home?? My gut says NO. Slap a onesie on him so he cannot access his diaper. If that fails ask mum and dad to bring a sleeper with the feet. Put it on backwards, zip it up and that way he won't get to his diaper. And yes, they do make onesies and footie pj sleepers for kids up until age 3/4. This is a stall tactic. As you get more seasoned, you will learn ALL THE TRICKS those little munchkins will do to stall sleeptime.
