Does your LO hide to poop?

DD2 just started doing it.  I think it's weird.  I mean, I get it, because I wouldn't want to poop while people are watching me either, but babies don't really understand shame or get embarrassed.  That makes me think there's something innate in us that enjoys privacy while we poop, kind of like how women generally do better when given privacy in labor.

And that's my random fecal thought of the day.  Sometimes I feel like my life revolves around poop.

    DD doesn't hide, she just stands still which is how you know she's doing it.
    She never stands still any other time, haha. My MIL tells me that her kids hid to poop though.

    My life also revolves around poop. Between DD, my cat pooping on the floor instead of the litter box, and my job as an Endoscopy nurse, poop takes up a good part of my time. Lovely.

    Yep.  I have Crohn's Disease.  So......poop.

    And I've had at least one kid in diapers for seven years now, half of that time there have been two in them at once.  And even when they are potty trained I'm often wiping butts to make sure they really get clean. 

    It's the reason we didn't get another dog when our old one passed away.  I don't want to poop scoop.

    DD doesn't hide, but she has a distinct poop face and has on occassion actually told us that she's pooping.

    I feel like there is a bizarre amount of poop in my life given my profession. We have an elderly patron at the library who is constantly calling to ask questions about things like colitis and barium enemas and such, I believe I've mentioned her here before.

    Auditing generally does not involve poop, but I feel like my coworkers and I just happen to talk about poop waaay more than is normal. We even have a designated poop toilet, downstairs, so no one has to smell the poo-stink upstairs where our offices are. Anytime someone goes downstairs, you know exactly what they're doing. ;-)

    And DH writes about poop (and today, pee) a really bizarre amount in his job as an editor for a science/technology website. So yeah. Poop all the time.

    DS doesn't necessarily hide, he just stops wherever he is when it hits him and bears down. You can see the stress in his face and little body. It is hysterical.

    No hiding here. She is loud and proud! And she finds it hilarious when I'm changing her poopy diapers.

    No hiding, but he stops what he's doing, and has a distinct poop face. The smell then takes away any doubt haha.

    He doesn't but big bro used to before he was potty trained. I thought that meant he was ready/training would be easy.... Ha!

    Sometimes DS will go off to a more private area to poop. But sometimes he'll just stand there and look at me while he's grunting and bearing down. The veins in his head and neck pop out too. Lol

    LJ has been hiding for months! I had the same thought as you. I thought it was so strange because he has no reason to think that he should be alone to poop. I mean, I'm never alone when I poop! The only logical conclusion, like you said, is that it's instinctual or something. 

    He used to just go behind the highchair but now he requests his tent (if it's not already out) which offers complete privacy.

    E doesn't, but C did. I don't think that E realizes that he actually HAS body functions. We've been letting him play in our back yard sprinkler naked (and making site he gets diaper free time, he's had a touch of rash) and when he pees outside, he stares down like he has no idea where it's coming from or why. It's kind of funny because I don't think he can see his peter past his Buddha belly!
