How did you get your kiddos potty trained for the night? My son doesn’t wear diapers at all anymore during the day, but at night still wears a pull up to go to sleep. How do I eliminate this? Because he will still wake up in the morning and he peed in his pull-up 🥲

We've been practicing going to the potty when he wakes up from naps and in the morning and today was the first time he was totally dry this morning before he went. No midnight pee in the diaper! So proud.

I am so excited about a developmental milestone and have no other mommy friends to celebrate with! Following verbal instructions seems to have really clicked with him today! I asked him if he went potty and he said yes, so I asked him to go get the diaper and his wipes. My husband had to help a little because he...

When did you 3.5-year-old stop having accident? Mine has multiple a day.

Hi, my nearly four year old has never been to the dentist - it’s a massive struggle getting him to brush his teeth as he clenches his mouth shut but it eventually get done. I just know he will scream and refuse as he already does this with the hairdressers & the doctors. Does anyone have any tricks that may have hel...

So for the last 3 days, my 1yr old has been having diarrhea like nappies, where they are so unbelievably watery, they leak out. He even woke at 4am to do a humongous watery poo! He keeps tugging ear, and putting hands in mouth. His appetite is the same and still finishes his 3x daily milk bottles. However GP total...

My little one just turned 4 months and giving signs of teething and pretty sure having regression at same time! What are there little ones signs of teething? She’s been very dribbly, whinge, not drinking much and sleeps all over the place. She has had a little cold too though.

We have recently potty trained our little girl but she seems to have regressed slightly and does have the odd accident when she’s too busy! We are travelling by car to France at the end of February - would it be wise to put a nappy on her for the car journey and of course stop if she lets us know she needs to go to ...

Following the oh crap potty training method. She is going for some wee’s herself but mostly when I prompt. She is actually pooing on the potty no problem, so I’m really grateful for that. She’s also still having accidents, standing and peeing without trying to get the potty! But what I’m most struggling with is shor...

Hello All, have any of you started potty training? I’m getting a bit mum shamed and worried that I have not started yet. My daughter can wee on the potty and on the toilet but will not poo. She is also aware when she pops and asks to be changed immediately. I’m a bit stuck as having our second in March so worried iv...

Are your Feb 2023 babies potty trained? If not, when are you planning to start?

My little one has been teething like mad the past couple of weeks. I’ve just managed to have a look in her mouth but it looks like there’s a tooth coming in on the side first? Could that be right or is that not a tooth coming through? I always thought the middle ones came first?

When is everyone thinking of doing it? Baby girl is so interested in the toilet, I feel like she’s showing signs so wondering whether we should potty train soon.

Has anyone else thought of potty training their LO? There have been some mornings I’ve gotten my little girl up to get her ready for school (daycare) and she’s been dry, and then there’s been days she’s been dry after her nap. I know our littles will let us know when they are ready to potty train but I’ve been think...

Worried about my baby’s teething. The dentist said to just monitor but they’re looking more decalcified or I’m just hyper fixating. I’m so upset because we brush her teeth and she doesn’t eat alot of junk or drink juice.

We've been going since October 2024 and it's going *nowhere*. He will go a day of no accidents, and then the next two or three will just be constantly peeing on himself or pooping and I'm just at my wits ends. He will say, "I go potty" *after* he pees on himself. Or he'll actually tell me before, but it's never cons...

I want to potty train soon (she’s showing lots of signs) I have absolutely no idea what I’m doing but I’m going for it. And I have tried to read all about it for weeks now. Do I use a small potty or do I get the actual toilet seat with the small part? If I use a little potty, should I have it in the living room or ...

Have any of you taken your kids to the dentist as an infant? My baby is 7 months old. He has 2 fully erupted teeth on the bottom & currently cutting his top 2 front teeth. I noticed a spot on one of the top teeth coming through & I’m concerned it could be a sign of decay (maybe from his milk..I’m not sure). If you’v...

In some cultures the potty is introduced from when the baby can sit up unsupported. And although baby won’t be able to potty train at that age, the early exposure will help them get used to the potty and be potty trained by latest 2. I have friends who started potty exposure by 8 months and their kids were potty tra...

I’ve just spent the last 5 days potty training with my son he’s done brilliant only needing a nappy on at night and even then it’s dry till the morning. He’s now due back to nursery and i’m worried he’s going to go backwards with his potty training. Do i just send him in with no nappy and change of bottoms incase he...
