My DD is a bit of a fiddler!

2YO Daughter likes to take nappy off and have a fiddle with her girl bits. If she hasn't got a vest on she'll find a way to sneak her hand in.

When will she grow out of this? Should I
make her stop and tell her its wrong?

It isn't wrong, she;s just finding out about her body. They stick their fingers up their nose, pick at any loose skin, play with their belly button. As do some adults!

It's not wrong, so don't make her stop. At some point, usually around three or four, you can start to say not to do it in public .

It's not wrong - please don't tell her so.

Oh but we had to explain to DD that she may make herself a bit sore (which she did) so maybe you could take that angle to explain to her to be careful.
