Is it normal for my baby...

My baby keeps taking her diaper off and playing with her poop when she is supposed to be taking a nap! She is so quiet too, like she doesn't want me to hear her. Does she know she is being wrong and is trying to be sneaky? This is so gross!

    Freud. anal stage. Young children go through different phases where they are obssessed with different things. Apprently your critter is obssessed with shit.
    Nasty critter.

    Sure,... as long as she doesn't eat it. You could always put a strip of duck tape around the waist part of the diaper! Ha ha

      NO seriously. Duct tape works!!! you have to put it all around her waist; obviously not touching her skin but tight enough not to get her sneaky fingers in. I did it with my kids..good advice dragonlady

    Yes normal it's her experimenting with textures and finding her body same as they do with food & other body parts ( including privates) at that age they don't no what's gross in society and as for her being sneaky no she is
    Quiet because she is busy and concentrating on learning , although my kids now 2 1/2 and 4 go quite when drawing on walls etc for the same reasons but by that age the sneaky factor
    Begins. Your little girl Is normal my friends twins painted thier room with poop
    , even I did as a bub just clean her and the room up , don't be mad but tell her yukky as by 6 months a bub understands nearly everything u say and prevent
    It. Put on 2 nappys or a all in one
    Sleeper suit, tape up the tabs and be extra vigalent for soiled nappys , a video monitor may help if u have the cash ;)

    My mother in law always tells me the story when she walked in on my husband as a baby and had poop stuck all in his eyelids. He was smiling and laughing but couldn't open his eyes. He always denys it. So it seems like something babies do. I hope my one year old doens't discover that. YUCK!! lol

    I have a son that's 2 1/2 and he's done the "poop" thing once.... my husband was off from work with him it seemed a bit quiet...my husband walked into our fam room and our son had painted the walls, floor and himself in brown-nastiness. For your issue, think getting a "video-monitor" may work best. We had one until he was 1 1/2yrs and it worked great. It's just a regular, small screened tv, that looks like a monitor..you can watch and listen to your baby. It worked for us since we have a 2 story home and didn't have to go up and down with every weird noise we heard. You can get at babies r us, but not sure the $ of them, we received at our bby shower as a gift. Let us know and hang in there!

    A lot of kids go through this stage--they don't realize it's gross. They do outgrow it though!

    My daughter is 27 now and I still like to tell her the story when she was about 2 and still loved her crib. My husband and I heard her wake from her nap. She was laughing having a good time. We left her there since she seemed happy. About 30 minutes later we went to get her. My husband yells my name. I go running in and laugh. Poop everywhere. On the wall, crib and her. I was left to scrub everything and give her a bath. I still laugh to this day.

      And, at 27 she probably makes twice the poop and twice the mess. Send her over to me for therapy.

    Well, apparently mom hasn't heard of the "baby doctor". Dr Benjamin Spock is famous for answering question like this but why would you ask idiots here about what is a medical question and if you knew anything at all, it is part of a child's development at different ages to explore their bodies. From 9 to 11 is the potty stage where they become curious about bodily functions. Sometimes it happens at a younger age but it happens and even you went through it. I did and I remember other kids I played toilet games with. But I wish dummies like you would use your fucking brain. Would you go to a hair stylist to solve a skin rash or a std? Go do a google search and you will be amazed at what you learn. But don't ask morons on a stupid website like this one.

    If she wears a onesie in bed you could use a diaper safety pin to keep the safety buttons at the crotch closed so she cannot get into the diaper

    (Safety pins made especially for diapers are safe in that undoing them is too tricky for a baby so you won't have any incidents)
