Toilet training
People who have done or already doing toilet training please help me understand the science a little.
I see a lot of options for potty’s or toilet seats (which is better and how do I choose?) I also see some parents get potties that sing and flash and dance and all that jazz which feels really excessive.
I assume I start with day training not night? How do I do it? Do I need to buy underwear? Please any advice or reading material is appreciated

We have been early potting training since 6m and just use the ikea potties and a seat reducer on the main toilet, nothing fancy. We offer a sit on the potty every nappy change or when shes farting 😂, we are doing sign language so trying to get her to sign for it too but thats a work in progress. We dont do anything overnight unless she wakes up farting. The EC sub on reddit was helpful for me but honestly it was just offering the chance and then making a big deal when she went. We also give her a few toys to play with whilst shes on, nothing small enough to fit down potty though 😂

Cartoon at Reception
My daughter started Reception this September, and it seems like they watch one or two cartoons every day. One is usually *Numberblocks*, but the other changes—sometimes it’s *Bluey*, sometimes *Zog*...I’m not too happy about this, but I don’t know if it’s common for schools to use cartoons for various reasons. I wouldn’t want to be the only mom complaining 😅

Mum guilt
Hey, I’m just posting because I’ve got horrendous mum guilt. I have a 3 year old and now a 3 month old. Prior to having my baby, I was out with 3 year old all the time, always busy. That’s obviously not been the case since having baby. We still do go out but I feel like it isn’t as often. Am I just being harsh on myself? I just find it so overwhelming at the minute but don’t want my toddler to feel like the bar has dropped!

Weaning
Hi everyone! My little boy is 8 and half months old, we have been trying to wean him since 6 months but he is still not that interested, he doesn’t like purées as he won’t open his mouth for a spoon, and if I give him the spoon he uses his other hand to scrap the food off. We are mainly doing BLW which he will happily put the food in his mouth, but if he gets any in his mouth, he will gag and spit it out. Anyone having anything similar? He is still having breastmilk as I know their nutrition all still comes from their milk until they are 1, I’m just worried he is taking a long time to grasp the concept of swallowing food
