a few times Megan has put her hand inside her nappy and started scratching. is this a normal toddler thing?
she doesn't appear to be in any pain and her genital area isn't red and she doesn't cry when I wipe her bottom when changing her nappy. ------------- http://lilypie.com">

I think it's probably worms as well. You can often see them - little while wiggles bits around her bottom. I would suggest you go and see the chemist. ------------- http://lilypie.com">

| I'd say either worms or excema both easily treated by common products available at the chemist. |

Sounds like worms - they tend to come out at night or when your resting so check nappies (and bottom) when it is dark. You can get a childs worm treatment from the pharmacy. ------------- http://lilypie.com">  [/url http://lilypie.com">
