Day 1 today, v successful! One small accident before bathtime, rest in potty. No poo, as expected. For day 2 should I pop on pants or wait another full day or more? And should we stay in or venture out round the block for a quick walk?

Hello! My 19 month old is showing interest in potty training, he's done a couple of wees on potty, he says potty just before he poos quite often, and mostly waking up dry from his daytime nap. My little girl didn't potty training until 2 and a half years, so 19 months seems too early for me... But I don't know, ma...

I’m biggest fear has always been when to potty train and how to potty train. I have a very stubborn toddler who only likes to do things her way and likes her routine. As it was half-term we decided to take the plunge and potty train her this week and we have just completed day 1 and she took it like a champ. We had ...

My little girl has a sore red finger I’ve touched it and she doesn’t seem bothered. I think she may have started teething as she is constantly chewing them

Did your baby get fever when teething?

Anyone else still struggling with potty training? I first tried over Easter, and then repeatedly over the summer, then took a break as he was starting preschool and thought it would be too much for him. Now it’s half term we’re pushing it again but he’s so resistant. He has a fear of letting it go and can go without...

We have been out of nappies during the day for about 1.5 weeks but even though accidents have some what reduced we still have 1/2 a day at home and a bit more at nursery. He is 2.5 yrs. He won’t say he needs to go to the loo I just remind him to go every hour or so and usually he will. Never managed to get a poo...

So I have this feeling that my daughter is going to be starting travel into womanhood lol .. she already began growing in the places I wasn’t ready for and she’s only 9 😩🤣 do I buy pads or tampons and how do u introduce tampons to a younger girl ?

Any tips? We finally decided to start potty training now that he's in the "I'm naked!" phase and can understand putting on (and taking off) his own clothes lol he takes direction and instructions pretty well; and communicates in his own way. I worry about him being able to signal or tell us he has to go to the bathr...

What did you do to successfully potty train? We're currently in rented accommodation with carpets so going nappy free isn't an option.

My son just turned 2 in August and was diagnosed ASD level 2 in September. He makes noises but isn't making words and it can make communication challenging. I'm wondering what anyone else in a similar situation has done regarding potty training. He hasn't shown any interest in the toilet other than wanting to flush ...

I was waiting until we moved house as didn’t want to introduce too much change and so now am going to attempt the 3 days in the house thing. Any tips appreciated! X

My daughter asks for no nappy but then will hold in her wee/ poo for hours. She eventually asks to wear a nappy and will go soon after.. She tells me when she needs a wee, sits on the potty for two seconds and then gets up. Refuses to sit when she is actually bursting. Any advice to get her to use the potty plea...

I heard boys take longer time than girls? Any advice?

She’s had 9 ounces today. She didn’t have anything in the night. We had a similar problem yesterday where she didn’t have enough. Is anyone else having these issues? She isn’t unwell I don’t think. She has been teething but I’m worried. She only has 5 ounces max per bottle anyway and know she won’t get enough b...

My bab has been out of sorts for a Week I put it down to teething, she’s got no teeth yet and 14months. I can feel the bottoms two coming through! She had typical teething symptoms, drooling, emotional, red cheeks, temp and off food. However, some of her bottles she’s projectile vomited back up? Can this be a sign...

I recently was granted a HC2 form meaning I can get free prescriptions, feee glasses and eye tests and free dental treatment. I called up a random dentist and asked if the HC2 covers all three bands of dental care (band 3 is braces based on need) and she said yeah. I was wondering if anyone has ever claimed free...

We have finally cracked potty training to a point…. for pees during the day. I am so pleased. It has been a LONG slog to get here. Poops are hit and miss can do it in the potty but still avoiding it where possible not sure how to encourage this more. Also my son also still naps in the day. He’s very active and nee...
