Question
A child of about 1 year and 4 months old always leans against an adult’s leg while sleeping at noon to rub their buttocks. What should be done? The child is almost two years old now and wants to sleep in an adult’s arms at night.
Answer
Based on the described situation, this may be a manifestation of the baby wiping off syndrome, which can lead to sexual excitement. It is recommended to immediately stop this behavior, redirect the child’s attention, wear loose clothing, and also be aware of any redness or swelling in the genital area.
