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...

She isn’t yet understanding to sit on the potty or toilet to do wees but will hover around them then say no then pee straight away after being near them is that right? She does sit on them when we ask though. She’s over 2 and ready so I’m just making sure this is normal :)

Hi all, My LO is just over 5 months and from the start of this week he’s had very runny yellow poo he’s formula fed. We thought it might be rota virus as we don’t anti bac wipe his changing mats often. So we got new ones and a new steriliser and bottles and we noticed a difference that his poos has now become more...

With experience, especially if you had more than one kid. What did you find the best potty for yourself and for your child training?

Which way is the front and the back😂😂😂 we normally use pampers that has the tabs on but these done and I’m so confused

So as LO is starting to take tentative steps I'm thinking about when to start potty training with him. I've always been conscious of telling him when he's pooing and when he's had a wee, but at what point are people thinking of starting (if they haven't already) and how will you start? (I'm thinking about when we d...

I’m looking for a children’s dentist in the Olympia tumwater area that takes Molina Any recommendations are greatly appreciated.

I’m going through it right now. We just ended day 4 of potty training and I’m emotionally wrecked. She seems to get the concept with some accidents here and there, but she went almost 3 days without pooping. She finally pooped before bath time and she threw a tantrum to get back on the toilet. She cried and screamed...

My baby is teething. He is so fussy, sleep regression, a lot of saliva and all ways his hands in his mouth. When they come out? He is 4 months by the way

Hiya! Did anyone’s babies suffer from diarrhoea or fever during teething. LO is 5 months Concerned mom!

My LO is 4 months and has been showing signs of teething, especially over the past few days so I’ve just rubbed my fingers across her bottom gums to relieve any pain and could feel something sharp as though a tooth is coming through, but it’s about the 3/4th tooth from the bottom centre which I thought was where it’...

My 3 month old has just started teething and he will none stop crying and won’t sleep at all it’s been 3 hours of constant screaming. We’ve tried calpol and he won’t take teethers. Is there anything else we can do

My daughter told me today that she needed to go potty before she went, so I got her a toddler potty and we'll see! This is probably a dumb question, but what's the best way to dispose of the poop? 😅

Is anyone else struggling with their 5 month old being fussy and crying most of the day. I'm lucky so far at night and she sleeps through which I'm very thankful for but she needs constant entertaining in the day otherwise she screams. She is showing signs of teething so could be that but I feel like I'm losing the ...

We have been told - just looking for confirmation from all 🥰

My 10 year old daughter Still pees the bed nearly every night. I’ve taken her to be checked out thinking maybe a medical condition. She’s perfectly healthy. I’m not sure what to do or how to handle the situation. Dad feels I should beat her each time she does it, I on the other hand feel it has to be another way to ...

I’ve noticed for the past 4 days my LO (7 months) has had bright red burning cheeks in the evening. Out of nowhere. She’s breastfed but I’ve had no changes in diet. I’m not sure if it’s a build up allergy or top teeth cutting through

If I could punch his teeth out, I would...

Best potty training book you have read and would recommend?

My LO is almost 3, should she be fully trained by now? I’m really stressed out with this. So we’re fine on wees on the toilet, no nappy during the day, no accidents and no wetness while she naps. I haven’t even started on no nappies at bedtime. BUT She has trouble with constipation and will NOT do a poo in the t...
