My son has been using the toilet for wees for the last 6 weeks, however he refuses to poo on the toilet or in a potty. He wears a nappy at night still so is either pooing in his sleep or pooing in his pants in the day. However he’s also holding his poo and is sometimes not pooing for up to 4 days until he has an acc...

My daughter will be 4 years old in March and has been potty trained since she her 3rd birthday. In July we welcomed a new baby boy so I anticipated a potty training regression with my daughter. Sure enough about a month after we brought baby brother home, she started having accidents again. We kept encouraging her a...

Also any advice he just doesn’t seem ready

My daughter enjoys sitting on her potty, but absolutely refuses and gets quite upset at sitting on it when she needs to! She's also really interested and understanding that mummy and daddy go potty on the toilet. So I'm thinking she might accept a toddler toilet step and seat thing. Before I commit to having a bul...

Hi all, looking for some advice on what you would do. For context, my 2y8m toddler hasn't been wearing a nappy during the day for 1.5months now. He occasionally has an accident where he doesn't tell us or tell us in time for us to get him to the toilet. We're flying 7 hours on Thursday and I'm worried he'll have an ...

How hard is it to piss in the fucking toilet bowl? Seriously🙄 I've came up the toilet after him and there is piss all over the floor. Had to grab the mop to clean it up. Seriously why are men like this? Id expect it if he was drunk. But seriously what the actual fuck 🤮

my little guy is 2 months (3 months in a week) and has been drooling and chewing on his hands like crazy. i know discovering his hands is a new “skill”, however it’s a lot? are these normal or “teething” gums?

Is anyone else terrified of baby led weaning?? It was always something I wanted to do when I was pregnant but now I’m here I’m so scared of her choking. I just gave her a bit of my crumpet and she loved it but it was breaking up as she was squeezing and chewing it. I took it away and she started crying (obviously…

My baby is 14 months, and she is teething and been having a very stubborn stuffed nose, I am doing everything to clean it but nothing is coming out . Today I noticed her cheeks are super rosy , they look like they hurt and they are super hot , is it because she is teething???? She doesn't have fever but I am really ...

This was the only picture i was able to get showing his teeth for memories but also i feel so bad because i can tell it’s making him extra sleepy and clingy 😭 i had to stop the frozen celery because his bottom teeth were able to break through so currently have 8 silicone teethers in the freezer

Anybody else’s partner spend too much time in the toilet? 🥴 it’s starting to sound and seem like an excuse to me lol. Most times I need help with the baby or the baby is crying, he’s always “pooping” 🥴

My 13 month old has 11 teeth. I brush them twice a day but literally only for a few seconds each time because that’s all I can manage with his fussing a wriggling!! (It’s honestly like WWE!! 🙈) Is this normal? Will his teeth be ok or will they rot? What should I be doing? What do you do?! Help!! 🤣

Hi, does anyone know of any NHS dentists anywhere around Belfast? I am happy to drive 45 mins if needed. Any that I called so far are not taking new patients 🙈

baby boy is now 3 month . putting hands in mouth constantly . .. drooling … spits out paci. is this sign of teething ? how can i tell if teeth are coming in .

My little girl has this rash which has appeared this evening, she is 6 months old & has been teething recently! She also has a runny nose.

My son is almost 18 months old but he has been ripping his diapers off constantly. Is it time to start potty training him? I know it’s kind of early but he already knows that when I have to go potty I go to the bathroom and he will follow.

I’m so proud of my little girl. We’ve been on and off potty training for the last couple months but today it seems to have just stuck. She did all her wees in her potty today and a poo, all unprompted without any reminders. I’ve cancelled my plans tomorrow to stay home and continue, but I’m back on work on Tuesday...

Those who potty trained successfully, did you follow anything specific? How did you do it and how long did it take you? Please share your tips! From the look of the most recent posts, it looks like a load of us could do with some guidance!

Does anyone know if my month old daughter gums look okay?

Hey ladies, my 4 month old cries A LOT, he will play for a short period of time, is fed/nappy changed etc but still cries and screams. A lot of people are saying he is teething but I don’t see or feel any teeth coming through his gums. I am overly exhausted and frustrated because I do not know why he cries like this...
