Leaving the room to poo

[Schmoop]

DS is 9 months and mobile now. The last couple of weeks he more often than not crawls out of the room to do a poo. Is this a conscious thing he's doing or just a lot of coincidences? Any other babies do this??

Most do this x

quite common I think. dd used to go behind the chair.

Oh yes, very common DS used to disappear but we'd hear the grunts

How interesting! thanks for the replies

very common, most toddlers will hide to poo. I think this is an adorable stage.

Every single time my daughter stood behind that sofa...and then you'd get the face...sometimes a little grunt.

I'd forgotten all about it, but it makes me smile now.

My DD hides under the table to poo

I never knew this! Mine looks me right in the eye when he's pooing. Aaaaawkward!

You should be thankful. Wait til they're old enough to know to shut the loo door in mixed company, but still give you a running commentary!

My ds who is 2.9 hides and says he needs privacy! Privacy...he's 2.9! Anyway...then he runs in and loudly and proudly tells me he's done a poo. Glad to hear it's mormal.
