M.RI had 3 boys here at my house for 3 weeks, not long ago. 14 mo’s, 18 mo’s and a 2 year old. They all played with it in the tub, the 2 younger ones grabbed it when they were changed, it seems to be a sort stretchy toy to them. It’s interesting to them and easily accesible, lol. I did not see any of them reach into thier diapers though. I am adopting a 20 month old and he does the same thing, and the poor thing barely has a button to pull on but he manages somehow. The other day in the tub, he stretched one side of his you know what, and let go. He had a delayed reaction and said..ooowww. With a look of surprise, haha. I have been taught not to act in disgust or be angry. What I usually say is that I don’t want to see that, or that he gonna hurt himself.
My son did the same thing, as a small child. He’s 9 now so if he is still playing with it in the tub, I wouldn’t know.
At that young age I wouldn’t worry too much. But when they are older I would be a little more concerned. Our cah children would have testosterone issues, but for the average boy this could be a sign of sexual abuse. Not trying to scare anyobody, nor am I implying that, that may be anyone’s situation here.
Don’t worry too much, take care
