NO Diaper Hands!!!

[Soupyszoo]

What is with dcb 1.5yo and putting his hands down his diaper EVERY CHANCE HE GETS?! Onesies aren't working. He still finds a way in. It's gross and it's making me very irritated!! He can't "leave it alone"

I just want to scream! KNOCK IT OFF

Is this normal?? It has become his favorite past time and just started Monday. He's always been a humper, but now he's all over it.

What about for hot weather though? Maybe light material?

Buy some some from a local thrift shop. You can cut the arms off and even cut the legs to shorts length. (as long as he couldn't get this hands up there!!!!!)

Yep that's what he's doing!! Going up! Guess he needs a straight jacket!

Of course its normal, It feels good to him, a normal part of life, self exploration, hes not doing it in a sexual way so to speak, to him it just feels good, like getting your back tickled.........You can do the jammie thing, but I find it very Wrong, to make them feel like they are doing something bad, because while it might annoy you, he is doing what is natural, and theres nothing wrong with that, I just have always said, Its okay to do that, but only at your house in your room.

I understand all that and I know I am mostly just annoyed for sure ! I feel like I should separate him though because while he is going to town down his diaper he also pulls his hands out and starts playing with toys and touching everything. Redirection is not working at all. I agree I don't want him to feel like he's doing anything "wrong" but I would love it if he would just STOP! ::

My oldest son "found" his as soon as he could sit up....he was the humper, too.

Oddly enough, he didn't have first "relationship" until he was 21. He hasn't brought me any early grand-babies, so I guess that's a benefit. He didn't reach into the diaper alot, but when he was older, he did do a lot of grabbing. I just told him quietly that he needed to do his grabbing in private.

My sister used to go to a playgroup with some rather intellectual types. One mom would lay her 6 mo on the floor and immediately remove his diaper so that he could play with...himself. When my sister suggested that this was a little unusual, the mom said she didn't want her son to be "ashamed" by his "natural feelings'.

I guess I must just be a......MEAN MOM! ::

I think it's perfectly natural too.

But not in public and that's what you cannot yet teach a one year old. They cannot understand "It's OK here, but not there"

So you just have to make it "unavailable"...hence the backwards jammies. It's not mean....he will find other ways to occupy himself if he can't get there!

You can join our "mean mommies" club! WELCOME!

And yeah that's weird. I would run if someone did that a park where my kids and I were playing!

While children will do what comes naturally....I think this Mom was actually teaching her son "This is what we do at public places" Maybe not a good thing when he's older.......just sayin.....!!

Sounds like the same playgroup I took my dd too and the mom wiped her ds's nose and ate it. Just a little tooo "natural" for my taste!

WOW, While I'm all for the natural self exploration, thats a little ridiculous to teach them to do it in public.
