Not being upset by poo in nappy… normal?

Just wondered how your babies react to doing a poo? My girl overnight had an absolute explosion (poor thing) probably her worst poo ever in 15 months. She had on occasion through the night made 2 seconds of sound like a quick whimper but has been doing that due to teething. So of course to get her up this morning and see this, we felt awful as have no idea when she did it. But she didn’t cry out/signal about it which I find odd? Is it something to be concerned about? She can at times show signs she’s upset/uncomfortable from a poo but more & more she seems unbothered by it especially be on the move she just wants to keep playing which I think is more normal but worried as to why she wouldn’t scream out over something this uncomfortable. She does then odd poo in the morning before properly waking up but they are smaller and can tell it’s not been too long but also doesn’t yell out for this. We never used cry it out and always go to her if she does properly cry out which happens with teething or anxiety or just bad nights so it’s not light she would think no one will come. I think my worry as usual is not being bothers by it, lack a certain awareness which might be linked in autism? Not even sure why I think that. I guess because some do have issues with the toilet but they are older. Any thoughts?

I would probably say this can super normal, think about it they don't know any different right, they have only ever pooped in a nappy... I am sure my toddler defo went through a stage where I was like oh you pooped let's change you and she'd run off like nah I'm busy got shiz yo do, toys to play with and buttons to push. Remember all the memes about asking the toddler 'did you poop' knowing full well they have had they like 'no.....'. My oldest is daytime potty trained now but if she wets through her nighttime nappy she doesn't tend to wake up either. I'd probably make sure to just really cream them up if that happens again but I wouldn't worry yet about it being a sign of anything not normal x

Normal, weird but normal! My 16 month is almost completely potty trained for poops (has been since 3 months old) but once every few weeks she has an "accident" and she doesn't ever seem bothered 🤣 which I think is so odd considering it doesn't happen often but hey ho!

Thanks for sharing - it just seems so odd to me that they don’t care or feel uncomfortable and was worried about the signalling side of things and if it was possible there would be an issue later. When she was younger she’d show discomfort but we also changed her very regularly so never a thing. I get during the day when we ask her and she says no and runs away laughing is because she wants to play and is too busy and doesn’t like the cold wipes etc. But this was really bad and the fact she can sleep through it made me worry but maybe she was just too tired because she did make a few sounds but not for long but maybe she was trying to signal and then was too tired so wouldn’t back to sleep. But this was so bad so I’m surprised she didn’t scream about it!

The only way we know if our little boy has pooped is when we smell it, he barely reacts😂😂
