Please send help!!! My toddler keep digging poop out of her diaper

This has been going on for a couple weeks now but my 18 month old daughter keeps digging on her diaper. When she hasn't pooped she'll just start scratching her butt and other times she puts her hand in her front. Me and her dad clean her properly and she takes bathes every day...what the hell do I do?!?! 😭😭

I saw someone else on TikTok with the same issue they ended up putting footless pjs on their kid backwards so they couldn’t un do it themselves and they had no access to diaper. As far as the touching and itching that’s normal behavior as long as it’s not prolong like doing it for hours at a time. Hopefully that helps

My son has started doing this also. It's normal behavior unfortunately due to being curious about their bodies and sensations but my solution is he must now wear pants or long pajamas at all times that he can't undo himself along with pull up style diapers instead of tab diapers until we are ready to potty train

Thank you ladies that helps along! I guess we're just gonna have to but some footless pj's

Do you think she’s ready to potty train? I potty trained my 18 month old when she was 17 months because she could tell when she was going in her diaper. It might be worth a shot🤷‍♀️

I would start potty training. She is aware of the presence of poop in her diaper so seems like a great time! I’m about to read the book Oh Crap and then potty train.

Alternatively, if you says she’s itching, make sure she doesn’t have worms. That causes babies to scratch and itch as well.

My cousin actually said the same thing about potty training. She actually took her diaper off today and peed so now I'm thinking she's ready

When do things get easier?

As we entered the 9-12 month stage, my son started crawling and pulling himself up. He also became more clingy and does not play alone, still doesnt sleep through the night, and this week has been sick (so EVERYTHING amplified). I am tired and overwhelmed. Please lie and tell me things get better. 🥺

Colostrum storing?

Has anyone successfully extracted colostrum before the baby’s born? Apparently it gets produced from 16w pregnant and you can start storing it in the freezer but I’m 34w looking at my nipples and the syringes on amazon wondering how it works?? Like what did you use and did it hurt? 🥲

Self settling

Any tips or advice of how to teach 6.5month old to self settle? I’m up multiple times in the night to cuddle her back to sleep and put the dummy in. I understand she will wake up and want a cuddle etc but any tips on self settling would be appreciated 🥰

Baby losing weight

Hi all, it's been a long time since I had a baby (my son is 15!). My daughter is 10 days old and was 9lb born, she has since lost weight at every appointment and is at a 12% loss. I am breast feeding every two hours for over an hour and topping her up every feed. I pump and can get 60ml in 10 minutes so I know my supply is okay. Anyone had this before? Can give me some tips? I currently feel like I'm letting my baby down.

Did I overreact?

I have had 3 c sections, recently had a wisdom teeth removal (4) to be exact and all my mom did was visit the day BEFORE and then she only sent 1 text. She has NEVER spent one full day with me and doesn’t acknowledge my achievements much. She just isn’t there when I need her to be. She claims she’s always working but she lives like 7 minutes away! she can come help with the kids so my husband can have break? we don’t ask her for much and she only sees the kids 1-2 a month. She also didn’t visit with my last c section. I told her that she should’ve gotten the abortion when she had the chance with me because why would you have me and neglect me emotionally? To not actually give me a present father in my life. I am very angry all she does is disappoint me. She only wants to show up for certain people in the family and I just want to grab her and shake her and ask her why can’t she be a good present mother?
