Odd question about Bums...

[Early Kids]

I'll try and explain the best I can...

Brendan's bum cheeks are still joined, he has a little bit at the top which is fine and then obviously his poop hole, but theres about 1-2cms of bum crack joined.

Is it normal?

It's only bothering me because of all this pooing (he's pooing WAY more than usual), the poo is getting stuck in the top unjoined bit and is a little difficult to clean.

The drs have never checked his bum. The CHN and Paeds used to check his testies all the time in the first yr, but never his bum, and I never thought to ask.

Um... I don't know... I've never looked that closely at my kid's bums!!! LOL

I'll have a look next nappy change and get back to you.

So you are saying that after the 'plumber's crack' ... it is joined? and then comes apart again for the butthole? lol

YES!!

Brendan's is quite noticable, I've always noticed it, just never thought to mention it.

Well if its a boy thing, DS missed out, lol!
I wouldn't be too worried though. I'm sure it's normal.
I have a dimple at the top of my butt crack...I'm still trying to convince myself its normal, lol! Even though DH & all my kids missed out on it

um Claire sort of has something similar I think. She's got her 'plumbers's crack' for about 2 cm then the butt crack sort of joins up a little bit (not entirely, but the butt crack is shallower for a little bit, if you know what I mean?) and then the butt crack goes back to normal (its such a damn cute butt!)

Could he perhaps have a sacral dimple? Claire doesnt have a sacral dimple, she just has a different bum! lol

Thanks for the replies

Karina, will have to google what that is!!

Peter's bum is the same! Its wierd, the bum seam starts normal for about 1cm, then it joins back up for a little bit, then goes normal again a bit above the poo hole.

Maybe its boy bums? I should check out DH's.....

LOL, maybe! Thanks for posting that, I thought Brendan was just a bit odd... but now there are two of them, they aren't odd anymore
