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...

My girly is currently teething, I’ve given her the teething powder ( correct amount that says) but every time I’ve given it to her, it knocks her out & she’s sleeping.. is that normal?😩

My baby girls almost 21 weeks do we think this looks like a tooth coming through ? She has some other teething symptoms like the dribbling and pulling on her ear , flushed cheeks , gnawing on everything and spitting up more than usual but is otherwise pretty normal and happy . Tried google but I haven’t seen anythin...

Just posting an idea which was suggested to me by one of my potty training support groups. We've been trying to potty training my now 3 year old on and off since 18 months. She will wee in the potty when nude but other than that she will not use toilet and potty. We have used stickers and pompom jars and rewards to ...

Currently 20 weeks pregnant and trying to potty train my toddler. Been at it 2 weeks now and it's been the hardest thing ever. Any one have any tips and tricks to help?

This is almost an everyday occurrence 😩 my son is almost a month old, he loves to pee on me or himself! I know when his penis is up when I open the diaper that usually means pee is incoming, so I’ll close the diaper for a little. However, sometimes when I open it again it’s still up! Basically, any tips to make…

When you start potty training, is it best to be home all day and have my two year old just completely naked, just a shirt and no diaper or pants? Appreciate any help ❤️❤️

My 18 month old has what looks like a piece of food, not in between his teeth, but stuck between his gum and bottom front tooth. Looks yellow so I’m thinking maybe it’s cheese? How do you get your LO to let you floss their teeth???

So I have one of those toilets where the kid seat sits inside the regular lid. But recently my husband said our kid is too big for it and it’s hard to clean his butt. (Note still struggling to teach proper wiping, but he’s like 80% there). The real question is, are your kids graduating to just the regular seat? Or...

Best potty training books for my toddler, also some for me I want to know all different ways to potty train him, so please give me some books or articles to read.

So my LG (age 2) isn’t showing all the “signs” to start potty training, she knows when she’s done a wee in her nappy but that’s about it however since yesterday she has asked if she can have a potty. Is it worth getting one to see if she’s interested in trying to get potty trained since she is asking for a potty and...

How are you getting on with your little one and potty training.. I'm a FTM to an autistic child.. and struggling. She doesn't tell me. I just feel like she doesn't understand. I feel bad as this September she started Pre School and fear that she probs is the only child that hasn't been potty trained.

Is my 11week old showing signs of teething? She’s been blowing bubbles all day and started chewing on her toy/ hands. I didn’t think she would show signs this early with her being born 4 weeks early so corrected age would be 7 weeks old. Ps sorry about Six the musical playing in the background!

I’m going to start potty training my son soon, but would like some tips please! He’s not got many words but does understand the potty, what to do in it, so I do think he is ready. I’ve heard boys are harder to train, so any tip and tricks are welcome thank youuu!

Thank you in advance for your help I’ll take anything 😭

When did you start potty training your autistic kids? My son who is 26 months is on the spectrum, he doesn't indicate anything at the moment.

My little boy is currently 2 years 5 months. We have been trying to get him interested in the potty since he turned 2. He has very occasionally sat down on the potty and done a couple of wee’s but generally refuses, says ‘not yet’ or will sit on it and do nothing until he gets a nappy put back on. When he has a napp...

For those who have successfully potty trained, how long did it take? It's been 8 days for my daughter. She goes on the potty every hourish if I take her (most of the time) but isn't telling me she needs and is still having some accidents. Struggling with poos too. Any advice would be appreciated.
