I have a 5 year old as of next month who is refusing to poop in the potty. He is GREAT peeing, only needs a pull up to poop. Nothing is helping. Dr is recommending miralax to forcefully get it out and put him on the toilet. Anyone else go through this? So worried .

Hi. We've been potty training my little boy for the past 5 days. He's been doing great at home. Usually has 1 accident per day and is doing poos on the potty.

So, i have a 5 year old but when he went through teething, we didn't even know about it 😅 So not sure if this may be teething? My little girl was fine yesterday until around 5pm.

Should I be expecting teeth soon ? Or is this just what they look like ?

My boy will be 10 months old next week and I can finally feel/see his bottom teeth starting to cut. He was really upset yesterday and more clingy than ever with me and his dad when we were visiting family for mother's day. He sobbed any time he even looked at anyone other than us, and that's so not like him he's nor...

Hey, started potty training & going really well with peeing. Issue is that my LO hasn’t moved his bowels for 3 days now. Complaining that he needs a poop or telling me he needs his nappy changed because he has pooped but he hasn’t. He’s often running to me quite upset saying oh no poo. Like it’s a bad thing. When w...

Hi, I started potty training my lg today officially as she has two full weeks off of nursery for the Easter holidays and figured it was a good time to focus on it.

Now I found this out before my daughter was born and it absolutely disgusted me and I didn’t want my mom or her man to kiss m...

I’m having trouble potty training and I’m so unsure of how to lol. Any tips for how to train a boy?

If possible, also add how long did it take for your toddler to feel confident and have less accidents?
