Hand(s) always in there!

[jackie0]

My 2-1/2 yr old boy is ALWAYS putting his hand(s) in his pant or pampers whenever he's home! Is this normal? Should I be worried?

[cliffsdoll]

all little boys do this its quite normal at this age and doe'snt tend to be sexual, its more of a comfort thing and exploring their bodies, dont be shocked by it, we dont worry when babies suck their toes or or toys ect, they're learning everything like what does thisdo/noise doesit make/ whats this for.

Absolutely cliffsdoll. It's all part of the exploration of the body that all children go through - sadly it includes exploring their orifices at inoportune moments as well!

Yes it's normal ~ and sadly it won't stop when they are grown up!

It's been observed in the womb...(without the pampers)

My daughter is 17 months old and started poking herself 'there' when in the bath. I did wonder whether I should be removing her hand as it just looks so wrong, but after reading the above I'll leave well alone!

Thanks jackie for asking this Q - it's helped me as well :-)
