Poop - Las Vegas,NV

This is really gross, so be forewarned. My 2 year old is in a phase where she reaches into her diaper when she is poopy and then smears it EVERYWHERE. I started putting her in one piece outfits so she can't do this, but it also makes it impossible to work on potty training. She only has a BM when she has privacy like when I put her down for a nap, so I usually don't know she has one until quite a bit later. I've tried waiting until she goes before I put her down, but she will hold it for hours. I've also tried putting her on the potty before naptime and giving her some privacy, but that hasn't worked either. I'm out of ideas and really tired of cleaning up poop. Any new ideas would be greatly appreciated!

What can I do next?

So What Happened?

Thanks for the responses everyone. I'm still working on potty training and I've been putting her in a onesie and one piece pjs during naps. I also go in and check on her every so often before she falls asleep to make sure she isn't making a mess. This seems to be working for now. Hopefully she will learn to poop in the potty soon.

I can really only guess, as I don't know your child, but I would start potty training. My daughter did something similiar. She would have a BM and then pull her diaper off and throw it at me. I started potty training her thinking if she is big enough to do that then she is big enough to potty train. It worked with huge success. I would take her and buy her all the potty stuff (underwear, potty seat, step stool etc.) and have at it and see where that takes you. Good luck!

My son did the same thing. It was terrible. What I finally did was I used moving tape and taped his shirt to his pants really well before I layed him down. It worked. Then he couldn't get into his diaper. I just tucked his shirt in and then taped the heck out of it. It might sound bad but it's better than cleaning up after the nap!

Good luck!

My girl friend had the same problem with her son. My 15 year old daughter came up with this. Cut the feet off of zipper pj's and then put the pj's on backwards (with zipper in back). It worked perfectly, he wasn't able to unzip them.
Good luck

My son does this also!! I have two older daughters who never did and I thought maybe it was a boy thing! LOL I guess not. He also only goes during a nap, and usually I try to use the moniter to hear as soon as he wakes up. I don't really have any advive, but I just wanted to let you know that you aren't alone. I don't know if maybe it's just uncomfortable and they are trying to clean them selves...I don't know! He is also very wierd in that he will not poop in a wet diaper, only a clean one, has been this way since about 6months old. Maybe try putting her on the potty and make grunting noises. My boy thinks this is funny and does it back, sometimes it makes him go!! Good luck I'm sure it will all make a good story for when she is older!!
