How to potty train a 3 year old boy. When ever I talk about it he says no and then I put him on he just gets upset with me and keeps saying no. I even offered ways to make it fun and he doesn’t care. Not sure what to do to get him to want to start going potty on the toilet. Any suggestions pls. Thanks

Hi! Potty training is challenging! Give yourself some grace ❤️ what worked the best for us is the 3 day method. Basically we had our son wear only underwear and took him to the potty often (we used both a toilet insert and a small kid potty) and made him drink a lot of water so he’d have to go (salty snacks helped so he’d be thirsty). If he peed on himself he would feel uncomfortable with the wet underwear and noticed it would become a pattern if he didn’t use the potty and he wanted to avoid that. We were basically locked into our home for 3 days straight. The first day was difficult as we had lots of accidents but by the third day it was a lot better! We’ve potty trained two kids and it was a lot smoother with our first because we were very strict with the 3 day method, with our second we were much more lax so it seemed harder on us. This is just what worked for our family- there’s lots of different methods out there. Good luck! 🍀
I am needing new ideas for snacks and meals for my 18 month old. He's typically a pretty good eater but we struggle getting him to eat protein. Looking for some healthy high protein/ high fat ideas that might not end up on the floor 😆.
No allergies and the only things he really refuses are eggs, and any kind of unground meat.

Hello ladies. I am scheduled to travel alone with my son this October on a 14 hour flight.
Looking for tips specifically on below:-
- navigating airport. I suppose it’s not possible to bring a cabin trolley luggage since I have to push a stroller at the same time. How to pack baby essentials?
- on flight - the flight will take off at 9pm. What time should I put my son to sleep? What do I entertain him on a 14 hour flight?
- any other thoughts / recommendations?
Thanks in advance!

My husband and I are going on a cruise this weekend. I saw that my son was potentially unable to go because we couldn't get his passport on time. I got excited. SO excited. I love my son more than life itself.. but a 4 day vacation without him felt like paradise...
Until my cousin told my husband that we could just use his birth certificate. I was so pissed and frustrated. This vacation is costing us $2000+. I wanted to be able to enjoy it. Now I feel ungrateful and a bad mom knowing he'll be coming. He's 4.. and severely hyperactive. I won't enjoy myself at all. Literally all I'm looking forward to now is the unlimited liquor 😂😅.
I'm also an introvert. I'm going with my family. *Heavily extroverted people*
I hate myself for wishing he wouldn't be there.. am I alone on this?

Hi looking for some mum advice!
My little boy has his 12 month jab today and my husband is on annual leave for the next two weeks and wants to book a holiday for us to go away.
I’m nervous anyway as will be first abroad holiday but now hearing stories about the side effects of the jabs and wondering whether the timing is awful for my little boy.
Would you go on holiday (Spain most likely) in the days after the 1 year jabs or is that just asking for trouble?
