Q.

my son is 2y 3m old, sometimes on a regular basis he is constantly trying to rub his private part against the hard surface for few minutes until we interrupt. Initially we ignored him doing this, thinking that this might be one of his way of playing. but this is continued since 6months, and he sleeps in prone position and rubs his private part against the floor. Can you please suggest is this okay or should we consult any doctor.

A. it is very important to see that there is no fungal infection or any type of allergy locally which is causing such type of problem to the child and if the child is distracted and this habit decreases then it means that it is just habit and you can take help of a pediatrician or psychological counsellor

A. Hi dear mom Yes this is normal in babies. They just do it as this is the way of exploring things and body parts. So no need to worry. Apply coconut oil on the private area after u give bath to ur baby. It will also help to give relief from itching if any by chance which can be also be one of the reason for rubbing. Take care
