Hi Can anyone give advice please my 3 year old has been refusing the potty or the toilet for a year now and I’m at my wits end with it. I’ve put books in the bathroom so i could read her a book whilst she goes but never even got that far.. I’ve got the potty, a children’s toilet seat to go on the toilet and a toile...

i’ve been put under a lot of pressure by the nursery to start toilet training my LO, i have no idea what i am doing he hates being nappy free, has zero interest in using the toilet or the potty, just cries…surely this is him saying he isn’t ready?!

I think my two and a half month old is teething. What can I give him to help the pain? It’s been 11 years since I had a baby that’s been teething so no judging please I’m starting out and trying to figure all this out again thanks

My little ones getting her top two teeth . She already had bottom two. She’s been sick (a lot )twice today and poo (diarrhoea) a lot today and yesterday. She’s also not really wanting food or milk. Is this teething or something else ? Didn’t have it this bad when last teeth came through. She’s not acting under t...

I'm on month 3 of trying to toilet train and getting absolutely nowhere. I've tried everything. Today she doesn't want to wear a nappy or pull ups but then also doesn't tell us when she wets herself. Sits on toilet but doesn't do anything. I'm concerned that she wets herself and then almost doesn't care or pretends ...

Anything at all! We’re on accident no3 already and now she’s napping probably from exhaustion of all the chat of using the potty for peepees and letting us know if she needs a peepee or poopoo. But she isn’t letting us know so far, she’s just standing up and peeing everywhere. We don’t want to pressurise her at all ...

I usually file my baby's nails but thought I'd try the clippers and accidently cut his skin on his thumb 😭 it did bleed quite alot but seems to be ok, I can't put a plaster on as he keeps putting his fingers in his mouth. Is it likely to get infected from his saliva? Feel like a terrible mum haha

Is it annoying of me to “ yap “ at my partner for being in the restroom for an hour while actually using it and playing a game on his phone? Pls tell me am i actually crazy? I don’t care and mind but an hour is crazy his friends had put him on this game and he’s been stuck on it non stop sometimes he doesn’t even kn...

Anyone else’s 18 month old not at all interested in potty training? My son still couldn’t care less if his nappy is wet or dirty 😂

Can you share your tips, methods you used. Idk if I should get pull ups or diapers still.

Has anyone else experienced behavioural issues and disrupted sleep since potty training? We’d got sleep into a great place again and since potty training we’re having 4/5 night wakes again, crying, not asking to use the potty but will sometimes go. Also his behaviour is just 🤯 He is a strong willed little boy but…

I just noticed my boys got a small chip in his front tooth?? Not really sure what to do about it? It’s very small not noticeable I’m surprised I even saw it!

I have a very active 14 months old. And for the past two months diaper change has been a struggle. She hates it and she won't lay down. As soon as I put her down ,she is up and runs away within a few seconds. I don't get to even open the diaper. So mostly I end up changing it while she is standing. For wet diaper i...

Where is everyone at teeth wise? Our second one is coming!

My three month old LO has just started teething, he's got a very slight temperature of around 38 degrees, I've given him some calpol and lots of cuddles which is seeming to settle him. But he's only had two 150ml bottles since midnight last night. Is this okay/normal for him (I assume) feeling rough? Hes quite hap...

Random one, for those that have toddlers & a dog or dogs. How do you have your garden? Do you allow your dog to use it as a toilet? Our dog has always had free range of the garden, but now I’m conscious I want our son to be able to play not where the dog toilets. Wondering what others do! Thanks!

Long story short 3.5 year old has been potty trained since October last year but I can’t get him to do a poo which isn’t in his nappy so far he’s sucked it back up for 5 days because I won’t put him in a nappy I have tried everything to suede him to use it but nothing

Just wanted to know if anyone’s started potty training yet? My LO is showing me some signs and thought I might give it a go. No pressure on my LO at all at this stage though.

What are some good ways to potty train a girl? I have been working with her for a year. she won’t tell you she has to go potty until she’s already peed or pooped her pants. we wanted to put her in preschool in the fall, but doesn’t look like it’s gonna be happening.

Hey is it normal for baby’s teeth/gum to bleed slightly when teething? Especially when the tooth is pushing through?🩷my boy is 6 month old xx Thank you!!
