My child is 2 end of next month and I've suddenly felt this pressure to start potty training. Don't even know where to start especially for night times 😵‍💫

Hi, sorry if I sound a bit silly. When people say they’ve started potty training, does that mean no nappies or just offering the potty so they get used to using it?

Hello, My daughter has been using the toilet great for a year but is suddenly having poo accidents. It’s so strange. We discuss that poo goes in the toilet and that she’ll even get a sweet next time it goes in the toilet but she keeps doing it in her pants and doesn’t even tell us. Has anyone else experienced ...

My little boy is quite scrawny, so joggers with a drawstring would have to be tied which don’t work, and I find a lot of leggings to be naturally quite tight. Anybody got their kids in anything specific from a specific shop that are easy to get up and down? Xx

My little girl is 3. I’ve tried several times to potty train, and she just wasn’t ready and wasn’t grasping it at all. Now she says “poo poo” when she about too or had done one and she’ll lay down to be changed. So that it massive progress. Those who have done it especially this age, did you find the toilet or the...

I’m at the airport now and wondering at what point do I really suck in my stomach? Is it security?

NHS sdvice is to bring baby to a dentist as soon as they have the first milk tooth but it's impossible to find a practice that accepts new NHS patients! Is private the only way to go? Is there any way to track when practices open their waiting lists?
