DD has been in the habit of touching herself when we change her diaper for a long time. It's annoying only because she tends to, ahem, get her hands dirty at times, which becomes an even bigger mess, particularly if she puts her hands on her face or body during the changing. When does this phase get over?????
Re: S/O of privates-diaper change touching
Ha! I don't think it ever goes away. I think its a common misconception that only boys like to explore their parts
When Layna has a poopy diaper and tries to touch, I take her hand and say, No. Poop, dirty. I want her to connect the poop with being dirty, not that touching herself is wrong or dirty. So when she tries during a wet diaper change, I just say Excuse me! so I can put the fresh diaper on.
