Velcro would always be an option. There are also baby clothes (sleep sacks, layette, or gown styles) with kind of a sack-style bottom with elastic around it. The legs are loose inside, so it is easy to change
diapers. They are actually very convenient as long as you don’t have to put your child in a car seat. Then the buckle doesn’t work well because the legs aren’t separate. Some may have a closed bottom and a zipper.

Subject: Adapting baby clothes
I have a client who is presenting with decreased pinch strength, and he has an 8 month old baby boy. He is struggling with the snaps on his baby’s clothes. Does anyone have any modification ideas or suggestions for him to be able to dress
his baby/change diapers?
Thanks so much!
