my son is 20 months and has recently (in the last few weeks) "discovered" himself down below! at first i would tell him off, but that just seemed to amuse him - so now when ever he reaches "down there" i try to distract him and divert his attention. there is something of more concern now, however, which i'd like some advice on - how do i stop him fiddling with himself at night in his bed? he is still wearing a nappy and all-in-one pyjamas and yet he still manages to have a fiddle which results in him wetting himself from top to toe and then wakens up screaming and sobbing, needing to be washed, dressed, bedding to be changed and then nursing back to sleep. this process takes up to 2 hours and we are getting quite anxious (not to mention sleep deprived) about the whole scenario. is this "just a phase" he's going through, is this his way of telling us he is ready for potty training or is it a form of attention seeking... what do we do? is there anyone out there who has experience with a similar behaviour?
