NTTGP: ? for Ladies with LO already or work w/ toddlers

I know for LOs, exploring their bodies is a natural thing, but when is it too much? Also, how do you handle it? DD is always sticking her hands into her privates during diaper changes, and I usually let her go for a few moments before saying it's time to put her diaper on. Yesterday, though, she was asked where her belly was, and she pulled her shirt up, and after that she just kept wanting to walk around and stick her hands down her diaper with her shirt up.  I know you're not supposed to make a big deal about it, and re-direct the attention, etc, but it wasn't working yesterday, and I finally had to physically stop her and tell her firmly "NO".  How do/did you handle these situations?

ETA: Asking for public situations, we were at family's house when she was doing this yesterday.

My LO will put her hands down there during diaper changes too. But she doesn't try to get through her pants or her diaper. 

Maybe if you put her in a onesie for a little bit she wont be able to get through it? But I don't see the problem.

We were at family's house for Christmas when she was doing it. It's not a problem "per se" but I guess my question is for when/if it happens in a public situation again.

With my nephew my sister always told him 'that's private' then redirected him. If he kept on, she would tell him like you did with a firm 'no, that is private.'

If they don't know what private means you add that in. 'That's private, we don't do that in front of people' or something like that.

Eventually he got it and was all about privacy. He loved to go into the bathroom and just stand there yelling i need privacy!...literally just stood there because he didnt use the bathroom yet..he was still in diapers..Haha!

Your LO will get it eventually. GL.

DS will put his hands down there during diaper changes, but I don't usually stop him unless I haven't cleaned him with a wipe yet or unless I'm concerned that he'll scratch himself. Baby has razor fingernails!

I think that if he were trying to stick his hands inside his diaper, I would put a onesie under his outfit to physically prevent it...that way, I wouldn't have to say no or redirect a bunch.

As long as she is not scratching or injuring herself, I think it's ok. Funny, but ok. Aren't kids the funniest?

ETA: for the "in public" question, I'd definitely dress her in a onesie or something like that to prevent it, and I second PPs suggestion of beginning to teach private.

Thanks ladies. I planned on teaching that it is a "private thing" later, but if it will help her start getting the hang of it now, then I will start now.

DD doesn't really put her hands down her diaper, but she sees both DH and I in the bathroom and is curious about it. She knows the correct names for penis and vagina and has said it a few times when she shouldn't....family gatherings, etc. It's embarrassing, but we just try not to make a big deal out of it and she's definitely stopped blurting it out so much. I think it's important to tell them the truth, just in a very top level, toddlerfriendly way...I would just explain that that is private for everyone and we keep it to ourselves. IMO it will only get harder to explain the longer you wait.

Haha, H used to toss DD in the shower with him in the mornings if he was rushing and she didn't get a bath the night before. She started asking/pointing at his penis, so he told her she wasn't allowed to play with it because it was "mommy's". He doesn't shower with her anymore.
