im having a rough time with my 2 year old. She gets cottage cheese in her lady bits but gets pissed when I try to clean it out. My mom suggested doing it after a bath but my daughter refuses to sit in the bathtub. Is it OK to just leave? Or is there an easier way to clean it?

This could be worth scheduling a pediatrician appointment to rule out yeast or other infection. I’m able to wipe my girls clean with a baby wipe pretty quick and without much objection from them. Would she take a shower instead or get in with you? Nothing should look like cottage cheese down there, maybe a little white in the crease, but it sounds like yeast to me, especially if she’s sensitive and protective of the area.

You could try using a small spray bottle with water and spritz the area a bit before wiping if it's sticking and you're having to do more than one wipe. That helped me with my little girl on those early sticky black poops. But yeah I agree it doesn't hurt to schedule an appointment to rule out infection. Hope that helps :)
