November 2023 Babies 🇬🇧

My LG is 3 end of nov and she’s starting pre school at my eldest primary school and they have to be fully potty trained. I have tried now for weeks and she will not wee on the potty and instead just wets herself or demands a nappy and get herself hysterical! I work 5 days a week so really struggling, any advice would be appreciated!

My daughter has started waking up several times a night, crying for us and coming into our room. Previously she would sleep straight through and play by herself if she woke before we got her up. I’ll add that we moved house and she started nursery last month and we took the side off her bed not long ago. So lots of changes that are probably making everything worse, but we are absolutely exhausted. She gets up around 5 ready to play, despite waking up several times in the night. We tried having her in our bed but we couldn’t sleep at all and she was still waking very early.

I know everyone says to do whatever you need to do during regressions to ensure everyone gets sleep but none of us is sleeping well at all. My daughter is so cranky and whiny during the day so she’s clearly in need of more sleep. We don’t know whether to ride it out and do whatever’s necessary or be consistent in getting her to sleep by herself. (I will also add that she has not napped since she turned 2 but we have tried earlier and later bedtimes and she’s still waking at 5 and multiple times a night.) Any advice is greatly appreciated—if this is what having a 3yo is like I am definitely not ready 😮‍💨

Hi everyone

Our little boy is 2 years 11 months. We tried to potty train him for 3 days straight last weekend with the “oh crap it’s time for potty training method”. Nursery then took over. It started okay, he did some wees on the toilet at nursery but then towards the end of the week he just had up to 4 accidents a day.

We decided we would try again with him and have him at home for 3 days this weekend, and he’s managed to do a wee in the potty today, but all prompted. He seems to hold it in for hours so he will happily go sit on the toilet or potty but nothing comes out. We put his nappy on, at around 7pm, after he’s had his wash for bed.

Does anyone have any advice? I have a potty training chart, sweets as a reward for wees, chocolate for a poo and stickers everytime he goes on the potty or toilet.

My other child cracked it in 3 days so we are at our wits end.

Thanks!

We’ve been potty trained since Easter but the last few weeks it’s been mostly accidents. Anyone who’s been through the potty regression how did it go? Did you re train or did it sort its self out and how long did it last for? Thanks

My girl finally has lots of beautiful hair and is actually letting me do something with it. Where is everyone buying cute hair accessories? I’m feeling very sad that I never got to use Claire’s accessories.
