Hi all,

Sorry for odd post but does anyone have any advice! My 2 year old is stil in nappies and has recently developed a huge fascination in his willy! He’s always loved a good feel at bath time - but recently this has extended to night time and nap time (he’s in a duvet). This results in willy being set free and always being soaked! Weirdly this doesn’t seem to bother him, he’s never woken up complaininf, o just find him wet. At night we have started putting him in popper vests which is working and meaning he can’t get to it but during the day time I’m reluctant to put him in popper vests as we plan to start potty training soon as I think he’s ready.
His language and understanding is very good, and I know it’s a totally normal thing, and in no way want him to have a complex about it - but the constant wetting himself for naps after setting his willy free is tiring! And he’s started putting hands down his pants during the day.
Any good phrases / “rules” people have found works? Apart from going back to sleeping bags or back to poppered vests does anyone have any other suggestions? I’d like to think it’s a phase he’ll grow out of quickly but we all know men’s fascinations with their bits continues long into adult hood....!!

I don’t just get some cheap popper vests for now. Potty training is so much easier in the warm weather anyway Smile
