What should I do if my child is maturing early?

Patient's question:

Around 1 year and 4 months old, she always leaned on an adult's legs while napping at noon and kept rubbing her buttocks until she sweated profusely and fell asleep. Now she's almost two and I need to find a solution. If I hold her to sleep, she insists on climbing onto my lap as soon as I sit on the sofa at night.

Doctor's answer:

Based on the situation you described, it is considered to be infant rubbing syndrome. This behavior is used to achieve sexual arousal, and the child is conscious. Interrupting can stop the child from continuing this action. To determine if this is the case, it is best to record a video for the doctor to review.
Advice: It is considered to be infant rubbing syndrome. When it is discovered, it should be immediately stopped, attention should be diverted, loose clothing should be worn, and attention should be paid to observing any redness or swelling in the external genital area.
