22 month old taking nappy off and sticking fingers in the contents

Boke btw.

Is this normal?

At the minute if DD can get to her nappy she takes it off and then sometimes pees on the floor. Other times if there's poo in the nappy she pokes it/rubs it on her hands.

Apart from being truly disgusting is this a normal phase??

hey ! i know how you feel my ds2 does that but hes 3.8 and has sn tho makes me feel sick

well my dd recently started poking her hands down her nappy and so we had a couple of mornings of poo painted on the walls / bed.

I think it's fairly normal - they are noticing when they've done a poo and want to investigate I guess! (my dd is 23 months)

Thankfully she only did it a couple of times and seems to have listened when I told her we don't touch poos and to leave it in the nappy. I didn't really tell her off for it, she's just learning.

Someone recommended showing them the dirty nappy when you change them too so they can see what they've produced - have tried that with DD and she seems quite pleased with herself :)
