Hello!

My 2 year old (girl) keeps putting her hand down her nappy after she done a poo. HELP PLEASE !
She has this fascination of putting her hand down the back of her nappy after she poos… Its gross and driving me insane.

  • It is so annoying, but all kids do this.


  • I would go for a onesie to reduce access


  • Perhaps its time for toilet training then? Will help solve the issue.


  • It’s time to move on to toilet training :)


  • I think the onesie is the way to go too.


  • Can you put a onesie on her so she can’t get her hand down there?


  • Not easy times :) but all worth it!


  • lol whip out that potty! she is just curious and probably doesn’t like it being in there as she is making the mental connection of the “feeling” of needing to poo and the “result”.


  • Lol its gross, but a sign she is ready for toilet training. A Potty and some big girl pull ups or undies, good luck :)


  • Hi Kels, I know you have posted a resent up date, but I just want to add that I think onesies would be helpful also. Hope you are having better success and maybe once summer hits potty training may be more enjoyable. All the very best of wishes to you all.


  • oh dear good luck with that


  • Toilet training time


  • Thanks all – this was for me.

    Daughter is just over 2 years old and speech is limited at the moment.
    We think she understands the words “wee” “poo” “potty” or at least just says ess (yes) but will not sit on it for long enough – enough if we have her in front of the tv with her favourite show.
    Tried around similar times during the day that she goes but its been unsuccessful.
    For now we have short onesies on her underneath her clothes to hope for the best until she shows more attention for potty training.


  • Also, invest in clothing that is difficult for your little one to access!


  • Time to invest in some toileting strategies.
