Question about nappies and poo

I have a problem here. My baby does big poos and only recently I noticed the nappy can't handle them. I basically get poopy clothes every evening. She is 5 kg, 10 weeks old and currently on size 2 (Aldi). Size 2 seems to still fit ok, size 3 seems too big. Any tips? Thanks

Toddler potty training question

Hey mamas, we started potty training our toddler who is 27 months old. The peeing part is going well, however, he's not willing to poop on the potty seat or toilet.

Potty training

My toddler has taken me by surprise and decided to start potty training herself. The only reward I had on hand was chocolate spread which isn’t ideal 😂 she’s now requesting this after every potty. What rewards are you offering for potty training?

My 3 year old little boy hates the toilet and potty and every time we’ve attempted potty training he has held it in and wasn’t communicating so we stopped. However, he hasn’t long been talking properly and had a speech delay. Whereas now he has caught up on his speech and has come on leaps and bounds. So last week ...
