I just changed you a few minutes ago! Stop dropping a load IMMEDIATELY after I change you. Dammit, have you no decency? Can’t wait like an hour or something?

I thought self-pittings were against the rules.

If you’d stop feeding the little fucker, he’d stop shitting.

The lesson here is that most people poop in two parts. Stop changing the kid the minute he poops and let him finish! 10 minutes of sitting in poop won’t kill him.

No it’s more that she holds the poo in when the diaper is full of pee, and then when she has the fresh clean diaper and is all relaxed it comes a-flowin.

Babies have it so rough. Here they go to all that trouble (and it _is_ hard work, anyone who’s ever observed a red-faced grunting infant dropping a load can testify to that) to provide themselves with a warm and soft seat cushion, and some sadistic adult comes by 5 minutes later and takes it away, replacing it with a cold, stiff, scratchy diaper.

No wonder they cry all the time.

If your daughter’s pattern is that reliable it’s probably time to start potty training. “Oh, just wet, no poop? Let’s try to go potty!” If she’s capable of holding it due to some preference then she’s probably capable of letting it out at a specific time too.

Enjoy,

Yeah maybe, she has a potty that she comprehends. I’ve been kind of waiting for her to indicate interest.

This may be your indication. If she can hold it long enough to wait until a diaper change, like **Mtgman** says it sounds like she has some conscious control.

Completely serious question. People still crap their pants at 21 months? How long does this go on? Is there anything else I should know? My ancestors better be fucking happy with however many kids I may one day have.

I thought most kids under 2 still weren’t potty trained. I mean, 21 is barely a toddler. 2-4 is normal, no?

Our house is for sale. In the process of getting all critters out of the house for showings, THREE times in the last week, my daughter, who is unclear on the concept, has either had a pantie blowing poop or has just flat out pooped on the floor.

Try explaining THAT.

I feel your pain, mswas. My daughter is also 21 months. “Nothing like a nice clean diaper for pooping in, huh, sweetie?”

Like her mom says, it’s a good thing she’s cute. 😃 And we’re also at the point of thinking it’s time for potty training.

2 to 4? Those are some huge error bars. So, at 2 per day, possibly 2920 diapers? You are kidding, right?

Well, wiki says between 12 months and three years. Doesn’t sound so absurd to me.
