Please tell me I'm not alone, I'm really really struggling to help my daughter. She used to be so placid, but now we are having screaming fits as soon as she gets out of the bath, only wants me not her dad, won't brush her teeth without a fight, getting dressed is the same. She hasn't eaten an evening meal since bef...

We’d been very informally and in a very relaxed way potty “training” our boy for a little while now. I say “training” because we were really just getting him used to the potty. He hadn’t done anything in it but loved sitting on it and going through the whole routine whenever we went to the toilet. Last week we had ...

Can anyone share their potty training journey? I'd love to hear how it went- how long it took, what methods you used and what you found helpful. Thinking to start next week, but I need some motivation to go for it!

Morning all! We’ve given potty a go today as I thought LG was ready as her communication is great and she’s been doing a wee on the potty before the bath for over a week. This morning however has been a little chaotic 😅. She is saying wet or wet as she’s doing on or just after but there’s not enough tile…

Hello. I’m a first time mum so please be gentle to me the below question might sound silly. I think we are at the thick of teething! My boy has been extremely clingy, hard to settle which was never the case, can’t eat solids as much but drinks his formula, wants to be cuddled all day, cries more that usual, excess...

Any tips on helping my three year old son to start pooping on the potty? He started peeing on the potty at 18mos! .. but he has a fear of pooping. He knows when he has to poop. Asks for a diaper and everything, so it’s not for lack of understanding. When I ask him why he just says it’s scary. I try not to force the ...

So we are just starting with potty training. My toddler had no interest until about 2 weeks ago. Things are going how you would expect. We do training underwear during the day and she’s going pretty good with pee but we are yet to get a poo in the potty. My question though is about night time and nap time. My girl i...

Little one has his first dentist appointment on Monday. What do they do and any advice is welcome

Is anyone else dealing with a super stubborn toddler? My little girl is flat out refusing to use her potty. We tried to go cold Turkey a couple of months ago, but she was just holding it and holding it and making herself ill. When we bring up the potty she just shouts ‘no’ or ‘I don’t want potty’. I don’t want to sc...

My little one was awake every hour last night and today has cried most of the day - his checks are very red and he’s been attached to me all day. I just can’t settle him, what’s the best teething stuff you have used?

My son will be 2 on the 13th of April. He’s been really good at peeing on potty and staying dry. He still struggles to tell us when he has to go…occasionally he will. My main struggle is pooping on potty….how do we get him to go poop on the potty and let us know before hand he has to go? We want to get him fully pot...

Hi. We've been potty training my little boy for the past 5 days. He's been doing great at home. Usually has 1 accident per day and is doing poos on the potty.
