3yo girl can't keep her hands out of her crotch

shegotsauce

We are about three weeks into potty training & it's going great. Only problem is, our DD had discovered her lady parts & is very curious & explorative. Any time she's on the potty or in her bath, her hands gravitate towards her vagina. She's even been touching herself through her clothes. I know this is normal & we don't want her to feel ashamed of her body but now she's irritated & red. My DH & I just kindly try to redirect her hands by offering her a toy, etc. but inevitably...the hands go there. I'm afraid she'll give herself an infection. Can anyone offer advise on how to stop this please?

Keep her hands washed, her nails clipped and redirect if you are in a public space.

Sometimes it's an unconscious thing, kids will do it when the zone out watching tv or whatever, so keep her occupied with other things.
