Potty training (1year old)

My son turned 1, two weeks ago and I was thinking if I can potty train him by November, since he will start the daycare in November.


Is it possible? Did anyone of you already potty train a baby before 1.5 year old ?

Do you guys have any suggestions on things that might help?

I successfully. First sat baby on potty at 6 months but didn't actually start trying till 12 months. Was done by 15 months with only a few accidents after that. Highly recommend. Google Montessori potty training for more. Put them on potty first thing in the morning. We all need to pee then. Put them on the potty before bath, before bed, after meals if you can. Basically often or try as much as you can. Morning bed and bath as a great place to start. I taught mine sign language for more and all done as she didn't want to talk yet at that age. Left s potty in the living room where she could see it and go to it easily. Look at her cues and facial expressions. You will soon figure out their I am peeing face lol. Bring toys next to the potty so they are happy and play. Make peeing and grunting noises when they are on it to help them understand. With the summer now it's perfect. You can basically do a pant less summer. Shirt and underwear so it'd easy for them to take off and you as you run with them mid pee. Lol

Know you will get pee on the floor or the couch I embraced it. Also kept diapers on at night till they were mostly dry in the morning. Did diapers in long car rides for a bit too till they could go before. Put mattress protectors on bed and dog pee pee pads under car seat. You can totally do this! Feel free to message me with any questions. So much easier to do before they enter their NO phase at 2. Before disposable diapers came along, babies were potty training between 12-18 months. Now is the best time

Pros and cons of having a childminder versus nursery

Hi, my baby will be looked after by an ofsted registered childminder as there were no nursery places available near me. I’m wondering about putting baby down for a waiting list for a nursery in the future but childminder seems a bit cheaper too and only has 4 children at a time (including her own toddler). What things helped make people’s decisions over childcare placements? Thank you xx

Me being unreasonable?

Am I the bad one for not jumping over the moon when in laws are coming to visit? Can't I just be ok/tolerate it?
I feel like my husband is putting so much pressure on me and blames me for being in the middle of awkward situations when they're here that indeed when they come to visit I'm not overly excited. But it's like he can't deal with them as his parents and I'm supposed to be the bad one..

Advice/toy recommendations?

Please don’t judge🙏 - I’m desperately seeking some advice or toy recommendations for my 6.5 month old Velcro baby. She simply won’t play on her own or give me a simple second to myself and I’m honestly going completely mad. I barely get a second to myself to brush my teeth and go to the loo without her whining and crying. I am utterly, utterly desperate and feel completely burnt out but I have no other choice but to keep going as I don’t have any support at all (no family, I feel desperately alone) and husband is hands-off. I’d really appreciate any advice on how I can get through this. Thank you🙏

YouTube kids

Anyone else just fed up with YouTube kids. I have blocked so many channels that are just filled with brain rot and ai generating shit but it feels like these accounts are like a Hydra! You block one and three more just pop up. It feels never ending!! I have set the setting to the youngest option and these stupid videos still show up. I have banned YouTube kids all together now but there is some good educational stuff on there that my son enjoys. This is just a little rant more than anything 😅 just needed to moan a little bit😂

Nappy for an hour

Hi I'm day 3 of potty training and my little boy has rugby for half an hour today. Do you think it's a set back if I put a nappy on him for an hour so he doesn't need to change during his class.

Asking for advice

My little boy turned 1 on Thursday 🥹 we had 3 days of celebrations and today we are just staying home so will be trialing his new routine.
I just wanted to ask for any advice really if this new routine looks ok, he’s not a massive eater so it does worry me that he won’t be eating enough food and now we will be massively cutting his milk intake it worries me he just won’t be getting enough food or milk.

7am wake up and 240ml bottle
(Mixing formula and cows milk until fully onto cows milk)

10am breakfast
This will be something like Weetabix and fruit or overnight oats and fruit or toast and fruit and water
No bottle

2pm dinner
Something savoury so like pasta, meat, vegetables, with water
No bottle

6pm bedtime bottle
300ml (mixing formula and cows milk until fully on cows milk)

Usually he would have a bottle at 10am and a bottle at 2pm but I’m hoping to drop those 2 bottles so that he just has a wake up bottle and a bed time bottle and I’m hoping he will eat enough at 10am and 2pm.

Never realised how overwhelming feeding babies was going to be 😩
