Right, am in a bit of state about this, my beautiful little girl (aged 2.5yrs) has started sticking her hands down her nappy every time she does a poo and smearing poo everywhere!
She has made a 'poo rainbow' across the tele 3 times in the last week (smears poo in a rainbow shape across the tele). This morning she smeared it all over her toys and yesterday she just stuck her hands down her nappy in the supermarket and shouted 'look mummy' and showed me 2 hands covered in poo!
We have tried ignoring her, really shouting at her, putting her in her room for 2mins, quietly explaining it's naughty and dirty and she just carries on. We don't know what to do! It's disgusting and because I'm pregnant the sight and smell of poo across my tele makes me throw up so poor hubby has to clear poo and sick up!
No idea where to go from here? Any ideas?
p.s - we have tried and tried potty training but she is just nowhere near ready, she has no idea when she's going to wee and was getting quite stressed about us going on about her potty so HV suggested we leave it for a month or so.
HELP!!
p.s - my mother in law is constantly saying that my daughter is very slow at being potty trained and that we're 'not trying hard enough'. We don't think she is ready though, she wees on the floor and always looks really surprised as though she has no idea that she was going to have one!
