Ds dry/clean during the day since 2.3. Is now 2.6 and we're having a recurring problem with night time / nap time nappies. He will often poo during his nap, or first thing in the morning, and then puts his hands all in it! (I licked my fingers mummy, it was a bit minty!!!!) Bleeeuuuch!!!!! Then in attempt to wipe hands gets it all over bed, pjs etc. Doesn't do it every time, it's a bit intermittent, and I just don't know how to handle it. Is it just natural curiosity, and I should just ignore? Don't want to overreact and cause him a problem with pooing (think he tends to 'save' it sometimes for his nappy as can be a bit reluctant to poo on toilet). have tried talking to him about it/reasoning it out, coz he is a pretty bright boy in lots of other ways, but then, hey ho, in a few days, off we go again. Please tell me I'm not the only mum to have such a revolting little tyke?
