Help!! I have been trying to potty train my 2 year old and it has not been going well. We previously tried to potty train her about 6 months ago but decided maybe she wasn’t ready yet.

Here are some things I’m noticing with my daughter (she’s 3 months next week) -extra fussiness/crying -trying to eat/chew on her toys -chewing on her hands a lot -having trouble BF.

Okay so I'm sat here dying for a number 2 and normally I would put her in her bouncer chair and take her with me with a few toys, but over the last few days she has learned to climb out, I can't leave her downstairs alone and my partner works night so he's asleep in our bedroom, I don't have a baby gate yet so can't...

My 3 year old woke up this morning and said I need a wee. When I went to check he just got back in bed. He wanted his potty not the toilet and my husband had shut the stair gate.

Hi my daughter still isn’t potty trained she refuses point blank to even sit on it , anyone in this situation

My 18 month old had a complete and utter meltdown down the other day- this didn’t seem like a normal tantrum to me. She was throwing herself on the floor, screaming until her voice was hoarse, arching her back almost as if she was in pain, not accepting any milk or dummies it was actually quite scary 😟 it was only…

I can’t physically follow the potty training book ‘oh crap! Potty training’ as it’s not possible for me to keep me and my daughter home for days on end and be able to watch her 24/7 during that time either as I’m doing this totally alone and she’s starting nursery in a couple days, so I’m just hoping someone has adv...
