My son is 3 years and 2 months and we most likely waited too long to potty train.

My 4yr old little girl is doing great with peeing in the potty but says it’s too hard to push out poop on the potty but she goes with ease in her pants so I’m not sure why it’s hard on the potty?

Any advice?? We did the three day at home straight to underwear method with our 16 month old after about a month of talking about/reading books about going potty so it wasn't out of the blue. I know that seems early but she is showing all the signs of readiness and signs to tell us she needs to go since she can't sa...

My baby is 8 weeks old but has all the signs of teething… recently has been unsettled, red cheeks, chews on his hands 24/7. He’s just got my finger in his mouth and was biting down hard on it. Could it be possible he’s started teething or not?

My little one is hurtingggg! She’s been teething for a while but it’s getting rough. Shoving her hand in her mouth and yelling, all toys in her mouth, drool all over and now a rash on her face.

Hi moms! I want to start potty training my baby, but not sure which potty to choose , there are so many options. Please tell me from your experience if it worth it to get the one real look like or I should just get a simple one Thanks in advance! 😇

My daughter is holding her pee & poop while potty training 😑 Before anyone says that she's not ready, she definitely is. She likes to pretend that she goes to the toilet and removes her clothes and wipes her bum and all that. She telsm when she does her 💩 or wee. When we are actually doing potty training, I let…
