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.

My little girl is 3 in January and although she’s shown some signs of potty training she just doesn’t want to sit on potty or toilet!

How do we even begin? All advice is welcomed

I can’t tell if my 8 week old recently he’s been holding a lot of saliva in his mouth and eating his hand constantly. He’s become a lot more fussy and clingy. I’m finding he’s also using his bottles as comfort as I’ll feed him he’ll be content for a short time then start crying again untill I give another bottle how...

Has anyone attempted potty training yet? My little boy will happily sit on his potty while doing puzzles or playing but we haven’t actually attempted it yet

Where do I start?

Anyone have any tips on the best way to potty train ? My son says potty but does actually potty he’ll potty after I change his diaper 🤦🏻‍♀️ he just like to sit on the potty to flush the toilet

How do you start? Do you just remove the nappy one day and that’s it or ask them to go on a potty a few times a day?

My little one hasn’t started potty training yet but was wondering if I should change her to pull ups. She’s 17 months old and is in size 5/6 nappies. Are your little ones in pull ups or still nappies?
