My DD has started doing some very odd things. It started when DS was born in July so we put it down to that. Basically she started getting poo marks on her pants and started picking poo out of her bottom and rubbing it on the furniture. She stopped this after a month or two but now it has started again but worse. We found dried lumps of it behind the sofa. The other day she literally pooed a tiny bit in her hand and ran to put it in the bin. We think she is aware of it and we can always tell when she is about to do it as she gives us a quick glance to see if we are watching.
We are aware that this could be an attention thing due to the timing of DS so have tried to be calm about it but I am now at the end of my tether. I really don't want this to be a reaction to DS and we try hard to give her the attention she needs. It is just soo strange. She also will not go to the toilet without me or DP going with her( although out and about she will go alone). She is also still wetting the bed at night. Despite months of trying without I am ashamed to say that she is in pull ups again but we want to get rid of these ASAP. I just don't want to put too much apon her as there are obviously issues that need solving. Any ideas? Thanks x
