We’ve been putting my son on the potty every time we change his nappy to get used to it. Over the last few days he’s done a few wees and 2 poo’s with no nappy (one on the kitchen floor🤦‍♀️!) - do I just bite the bullet and attempt the every 30 minute method? This whole potty training is a minefield to me!! 🤯🤯 Any…

Is this a top tooth coming through next to the front two ones?

Anyone with boys find they wee through nappy/clothes? I point his bits down but I think it often moves to side and leaks out! I’ve tried Aldi and pampers…happens in both! Anyone else??🤷🏼‍♀️😅

We’ve started potty training over Easter, it’s been hard but going well and LO has made loads of progress in 4 days. I feel confident that it is the right time as he appears to understand the sensations and can communicate this 80% of the time roughly. We also regularly remind him to tell us when to go. He is back ...

My son has just turned one and I wanted to get him familar to the potty , when do people usually start potty training and how?

LO has started crying out of nowhere, wakes himself up crying and won’t stay asleep. I tried to check his mouth better but this was the only picture I could take where you can just about see it. Is that a little tooth coming out? It’s a bit white behind that purple dot.

My 9 months old is teething and has fever since yesterday night he has no other symptoms but teething and everyone keeps saying that teething doesn’t causes a temperature but I can’t tell where is this coming from. Anyone else had this experience? Phoning the gp tomorrow

I’m at a loss with potty training I feel like I’ve tried everything and my son is absolutely terrified of using the potty or the toilet he cried for his nappy back on straight away any any point it’s off and says oh no it’s going to come out I’ve tried reassuring him it’s okay, he will be Turing 3 In a couple of mon...

Does anyone have any cure alls for teething pains? My 9 month old just cut her second tooth yesterday and she’s in so much pain that she won’t nap and she’s miserable. I feel so bad. The Tylenol isn’t working for her anymore. Does anyone have any recommendations on something I can get at a store (I’d order something...

Two year old is doing great for number 1 on potty, however number 2s just don’t happen. As soon as a nappy is on he is curling one out I know it all happens in their own time, but how can I encourage it?

only asking as i didn’t know this was a thing, me and my brother both were potty trained at 18 months and i was planning on doing the same with my girl, obviously in other countries where they have limited resources they potty train from way earlier so why do we have to wait till they’re ready? honestly just want to...

Hey guys💓 My baby girl turns 3 months this week and for the past week has been drooling, placing her hands in her mouth constantly, sucking on things , and unsettled (especially during the evenings). It felt like this came out of nowhere as she’s been a very calm baby. Does this sound like teething? Is there any…

How awkward is it to get a proper job done when they’re just standing ??

So my little one has been interested in the potty/toilet for a while now. He has been going for wees on the toilet and potty so thought he was ready for full potty training. However, we can have a good few hours and then it all goes to pot. He asks every morning to put on his big boy pants which I obviously think i...

My poor mom pees her pants completely multiple times per day. She uses 2 extra thick incontinence pads & wears absorbent underwear/diaper and it still just dumps out all over her. I feel so bad for her because she’s so embarrassed to go anywhere and nothing absorbent enough for her issue. She wants to avoid a cathet...

Day 1 of leaving the house and I’m having to take the potty to a park event with me. Does anyone else carry their potties around like a handbag?🤣 I feel like everyone will be watching me

So.. she will only use the toilet when she’s either fully naked or a dress on where she has no nappy! As soon as I put pants on her she wees them! Any ideas or tips of how to stop this?! Third baby due September so wanting to get her fully trained up before next one arrives and she goes to nursery.
