Using the potty as an excuse...

My daughter will be 18 months old at the end of March.

Do babies get fevers when teeth come out?

My baby had a pretty alarming fever and it lasted 2 days. Before this fever we noticed a new tooth starting to show. He already has 2 bottom teeth but I don’t remember him getting a fever like this last time. Is it more common the older they get? He’s 9 months old now

4 year old not toilet trained

My 4 year old still has poo & wee accidents every single day. Multiple. At what point do you just put them back in a nappy? Been trying to toilet train for about 6 months and he’s not better.

Potty training

When to start potty training?! My LG 18 months old, but was born 2 months prem so is assessed on what her age should have been. She has showed signs of starting. She pulls at her nappy, she crouches to poo, and she does all nappy changes standing up. We have tried nappy free time but she gets overwhelmed and ends up...

Potty/toilet training

How is everyone getting on with potty/toilet training? My daughter knows when she needs a poo but refuses to go in the potty/toilet and I’m at a loss. I’ve tried a sticker/reward chart and nothing

My toddler is potty trained

I still make sure to put a diaper on at night just in case. Today is her second week without peeing in her diaper overnight. Would you continue putting on a diaper at night?

Potty training underwear

Has anyone tried potty training pants? The ones that have an extra layer for accidents. At home she uses the potty/toilet quite well, however at nursery, her toilet usage is a bit hit and miss, as she is busy and has a pull up on. The next step is to go to nursery without a pull up on and see how she goes (their s...
