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.

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

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
