Getting your toddler to poop on the toilet.

Hey mamas! I need help/advice, my 3 year old daughter is fully potty trained on going pee on the toilet but she refuses to tell me before she has to poop. She comes and tells me she went right after going but will not tell me before hand so she can go on the toilet. Please help.

HELP! My daughter locked herself in the bathroom and she can’t unlock it.

Does anyone know how to open this door?? Do I call the police. It’s 9pm idk if a handyman will come. There’s literally no screws that I can unlock and there’s nothing in the side of the door.

Early potty training

Anyone have tips on potty training directly after birth? I’m 26w and wanting to learn as much as possible before I give birth. I’ve heard using cloth diapers and learning their cues/ times of day they go, anything else?

Concerned!!

Moms, I need help. My son is not circumcised. He will be 1 on the 21st and at our last visit, the Doctor said there was no need to circumcise him unless he was starting to have problems with peeing . I was completely fine with it. I’m indifferent about circumcision and I won’t put my baby through unnecessary pain. H...

Potty training is going so well!

One morning I just decided to keep the diaper off 😅☺️ And she started to pee and realized it was running down her leg and she said 'oh pee', so I scooped her up and put her on her potty in our bathroom and she actually finished her pee in there. I clapped a bunch and high-fived her. And then brought the potty to…

Does this look like teeth?

My first bubba, I've no idea 😭. She's drooling a lot and wanting to bite her hands all the time. She's woken up screaming 3 days in a row now, with no temperature or other symptoms. I've had to give her a dose of Calpol as nothing would settle her. Took her to the pharmacist yesterday as she started screaming again…

Teething

I think my little one is teething … he’s got 2 big lumps at the back top and bottom so presuming molars! He is hysterical though, won’t eat, won’t sleep, doesn’t want to be put down. He’s not been like this before but wondering if anyone has had similar? If so how long does this last! We are on 4 nights and 5 days!
