Potty with speech delay/mild autism .

Do any moms have any ideas on how to get my 3 year old daughter to use the potty ? I have tried everything. She takes off her diaper when it's full, and she won't go on the floor until I move away and don't see . I turned my back for a minute, and she peed all over my chair and floor .

Hey message me !!

I was in the same boat as you. Obviously we can’t stop the accidents, but every time she has an accident I would just say uhh ohh we didn’t make it to the potty, and then I would redirect her to the potty and have a conversation about things where we potty. It was a year long process. Autism changes everything when we potty train. You have to remain consistent, learn her cues when she needs to potty, I found that reward baskets are good in some cases but if you do that don’t be one to dependent on it because you don’t want her to expect a reward every time she actually goes to the potty. Praise is a huge thing. Anytime she does go to the potty give her good job, and yay YOU did it. Just remember to keep your cool, and have patience. My daughter wasn’t potty trained until she was 4 1/2 and we started introducing the potty at 2 when she would pull her diaper off. As she got older we realized it wasn’t her being ready for the potty, it was sensory related.

5 month old activities

Hey everyone my baby is 5 months old and I want to reduce/cut screen time as I have read up on how bad it is what activities did people do to keep their baby entertained. Thank you in advance.

My friend is over from another country but I don't feel like leaving the house

One of my old friend's is visiting where I currently live and we agreed to meet up today but I feel so tired and exhausted from everything that's been going on with me. I feel if I meet her I'm going to end up having another breakdown from the exhaustion which I have been having often. I'm just thinking about how I need to rest to be able to deal with my toddler and go back to work on Monday without feeling like I need another weekend. I'm torn on what to do so I need you guys to help me decide

Post partum dad

I have a 2 month old. A few weeks ago my husband crashed out because he didn't feel like he was getting to bond with her. I started exclusively breastfeeding around that time and honestly didnt see the big deal. Baby and I left for a few days and when we got back home, everything was fine. He was extremely hands-on. He helped with my meals, her bedtime, bath, stories.....for a few weeks it was great. Then he randomly sounds depressed af. He says our lo is better off without him, he wants to sleep all day , he asks me not to watch tv then tried playing a video game. He refused to reply to me when i asked any follow-up questions. Then he woke up our baby trying to race me to the bathroom first thing in the morning . He's doing a weird mix of crying, trying, and giving up. Im starting to feel like I cant handle him not being able to handle life with baby and just want to be alone. Are there resources for men?

Weaning

Hello mamas,could I get some advice please with how and what to wean as started this week with my baby but not really what to give and when what time day. Have started with puree vegetables and making them myself and offering it in the evening to my baby but she tends to get irritated and tired and has a few spoonfulls and then gives up and has a meltdown. So I’m questioning myself am I feeding her wrong time of day and what’s best to mix the food with milk or baby rice please.

Do I need to pay anything when my child starts school in September

I'm a new mum and obviously didn't grow up in the uk. I currently pay roughly £640 for nursery fees. I'm wondering if my expenses will reduce when my LO starts school or there'll be other expenses (besides bags, uniform etc) will my expenses be anywhere close to £600 monthly?
