Hey guys, I have a question!! Everytime I
change sean's diaper he "plays" with
himself. But it is like he is grabbing it
and it looks like it would hurt, is there
anything I can do?

A little boy at the daycare I work at did
the same thing, he is about 17 months old
but was doing it around 10 months too, I
think he is just exploring himself and he
will eventually grow out of it! Good
luck

I dont think you should do anything.
Telling him no may make him insecure.

Best advice: leave it be. Don't make it
seem like a big deal. He's "exploring"
and I remember my little brother and my
nephew doing it as well as my sister and
niece when they were babies. They would
touch themselves, but I think it's an
exploration process.
Love,
chanda

Yes most children do that..Like someone
said before dont yell at him or tell him
no, it could cause emotional probs so ive
heard.

Thanks again ladies, I was never around
babies, ever, before sean was born. I had
no idea what I was in for, but I made it
through and I loved it. Well I take that
back I was around our new nephew, at that
time he was like 8 months old but I didnt
see him that often. I didnt wanna learn
off his parents anyways though because
they didnt really take care of him well.
When we were in ill. Over this past
break, I had to take care of him and bathe
him as well as sean. He didnt have
manners either, and it was sad because
sean is so much bigger than him and he is
almost 2. I undersstand that he was a
preemie but he should at least be walking
and things of that nature. He had just
started to pull up. And when he was
little he slept in his car seat or his
swing, worst thing ever for a growing
boy..
Sorry had to vent
love to you jen!! And river!!
