Toddler has fear of sitting on potty! Help!

We reassure her and hype her up when we do get on there but still a bit afraid! We are on day 6 of potty training.. She is good at holding it and minimal accidents.. But super afraid of potty… Partly down to me I think for pushing it a bit too much on the first couple of days maybe.. 🤦‍♀️😫 Any suggestions?

Potty training while out??

We’ve recently started potty training and spent the first three days inside. Currently taking little one to the potty every 20 minutes and he’s doing really well! We’re about to head out for the day and won’t be able to keep up with the 20 minute toilet breaks, due to travel etc. We’re naturally planning to us...

As of the past week my 17 month old has started randomly taking off her diaper. I have been in the process of potty training her. Luckily there has only been one incident where she peed in the bed at night. How do i stop this before the incidents get messier?😭

Potty training or not at 16 months?

My 16 month old girl has started looking in her nappy when she’s done a poo. When i ask her if she’s done a poo poo she says yes. She now seems bothered and is doing poos more often. Is this a sign, should I get a potty and put it out? any advice appreciated or is this normal girl development? Thanks x

Teething 🦷

My baby is only 11 weeks old but has been very unsettled the past few days which is unlike her. She’s also been dribbling a lot and sucking on her hands. Is it possible to be showing signs of teething this young? Any help and advice would be much appreciated 😌

Potty

I'm potty shopping 🛍️ going to start my 10 month old having short nappy free times on the potty once a week so they just get used to it. But what potty do I buy? There's different ones and ages and I honestly thought there would just be one universal potty everyone buys 🤦 I'm so confused
