2 year old acting very strangely ... HELP

[Curmudgeonlett]

she is hiding in corners, seems a little sweaty ... obviously discomfitted but not crying

won't be cuddled .. pushes us away

she didn't poo yesterday, I'm wondering if slighlty constipated .. won't let me rub her tummy .. says 'no hurt' (meaning nothing hurts)

am trying to make her drink

does it sound familiar? anything else I should try

[misdee]

sounds like she is trying to poo and doesnt want to be bothered. dd2 was like this.

[trinityrhino]

sounds to me like she is trying to poo in private too
how long has she been doing this??
I take it she is still in nappies??

[trinityrhino]

are you ok curmudgeon???

[Curmudgeonlett]

very first time she's done it trinity .. tis very unlike her to be honest ... but then she's just past 2 and is in that period of her actions / reactions changing IYKWIM ... maybe she'll just be a private poo-er from now on

yes still in nappies ...

(I'm fine .. its twiglett by the way .. can't be bothered to change name back)

[misdee]

dd2 did this once she turned 2 as well. she used to hide under her covers in her bedrooom.

dd1 used to run to the stairs.

[Curmudgeonlett]

another signal to potty train???

[trinityrhino]

oh right hey twig,
dd1 was never a private pooer but I have had lots of friends that say that there kiddies started being a private pooer at about this age

let us know what happens

[Curmudgeonlett]

aha yes 'tis the need to poo .. all done .. she's chipper yet again

[trinityrhino]

brilliant, glad thats all it was

well now you know you have a private pooer

[monkeytrousers]

Is this just a girl thing?

[MerlinsBeard]

could be a girl thing, my ds1 loves to share his poo's. Will even tell the room about it when he returns!! (hes 3)

Glad to hear shes much better twig.
