Potty training with speech delay

Help I’m training my three year-old who has a speech delay. We are on day one. Any tips or tricks that worked to get them to communicate before they pee? We are going every 5-10 mins and it seems like that’s not working we are trying blowing bubbles to get the relaxting of his pelvis to pee. Using the potty train underwear that I’ve seen all over TikTok. Watching for cues. I feel this is a waste of time and I’m failing.

What i did with my daughter is wear pull ups, then took her after she woke up, after she ate & before bedtime & I would set a timer Then I noticed she didn't feel herself having to pee because of her diaper so I just put shorts or pants on let her feel her wetness & watch for cues or set a timer & she had to pee or poop so she knew that's where it goes she wears underwear at home but daycare still working on it

& It takes time have to be consistent it took 2 or 4 weeks to get the hang of it. You got this!

My son was stubborn about potty training. But once he wanted to do it he caught on within a couple days. My ex tried forcing it and now still has my son in pampers diapers on his weekends. And my son gets brought to daycare in diapers and daycare has to change him into underwear. Just like every thing else they go at their own pace and in their own time. I found if I did like my ex and forced him on the potty he fought harder to not do it. He had such a severe speech delay that when I finally was able to get us out of that environment he was verbally functioning at a 6 month old level. Don’t worry it will happen.

Its rough! My little guy has been working on it since his birthday so 4 months and its still a work in progress! Hes just now starting to talk and its helping a little bit! Im sorry you guys are having a hard time! Just know you aren't alone and eventually he'll get it ❤️

When does it get better?

I was crying on the phone with the perinatal mental health team today and the lovely lady, bless her, kept assuring me that it gets better. I kept telling her I hope so because people have been saying that since having my LO and it just feels like it keeps getting worse. She assured me it gets better....

Rant/WWYD

My sister (youngest, 24) has two kids, 4 & 1, and i (oldest, 30) just have my one who’s 6mo old right now, so i ask her for advice or call her to vent about things sometimes. Well im tired of her turning around and telling my other family members that I’m “losing my sh*t.” Literally have not lost my sh*t nor have i ever freaked out to her about my baby, i just call her to talk and tell her what stage my baby is in or talk through how im feeling, but she chooses to tell people that im like a complete nutcase or something which worries me that my family is going to start being judgmental about me as a mother or looking at me funny like I’m some fragile ticking time bomb.

What would you do in this situation? I’m already pretty much decided that I’ll stop telling her anything about my struggles, but I’m almost at the point where i feel like it should be confronted because she, of all people, should understand what I’m going through.

Not drinking

I’m going crazy. Baby born at 2.26kg. Slow to put on weight. This last week hasn’t put on any. Been trying to feed him at night and he’s not interested at all. Fast asleep. During day he will have 5 minute gulps and that’s it. He don’t cry for milk. I’ve got to keep offering to him. I try to offer it every hour but I don’t know what I’m doing. HV said nutrition comes after 5 minutes so I should pump first and then give him. I find it so hard. I tried to pump one boob nothing came. The other abit came. Tried giving him express he’s not interested in that too. Sometimes he will go for a longer a feed but not long at all. He’s 4 months and is currently 5.46kg. I have no family or friend support here and wish I had a cook, cleaner and nanny to help with everything so I can concentrate on the little one. I don’t know what’s wrong with him but I’m loosing it. It doesn’t help that my also stressed generally about my relationship and life circumstances. Any advice that will work. Any comfort you can give. I’m fed up. Is this regression - not feeding. He’s fast fast asleep. I’ve been trying to push the nipple in but that mouth is closed shut. I took some clothes off. Changed his nappy but he’s still asleep. Please help
