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...

So my son has been really good at doing a wee on the toilet/potty for months now if we put him on it. He won’t hold in a wee but goes a long time dry before going on the loo or in his nappy… The issues are he won’t tell us if he needs a wee, he’s just fine with doing it either way. And the real issue is the poops....

It’s still a work in progress. How’s it going for you all? I know boys on the spectrum can be extra challenging. Any specific things that have worked for your autistic son?

Where do you put your toddler to go to the toilet 💩 or shower etc? I cannot let him roam around, I just feel it’s so unsafe & he is in to pressing switches.

Hi, there are alot of post about potty training at the moment. Can you please recommend videos to get started and pottys that are easy to clean etc. I would be ever so grateful. I need all the help I can get as I am so lost as to how to start. Thanks

We're looking at potty training in the next couple of months and I trying to find pants for my son. The problem is that he is small and just gone into 9-12 months sized clothes, yet the smallest pants I can find anywhere start at 1.5 - 2 years! He won't fit in those until he is 3 at his current rate. Has anyone got ...

What do we do with teets when we size up?? Just throw them??

Only time he asks to go to the toilet is when he is trying to delay bed time. He’s more than happy with his nappy, we tried pants today and he has been fine all day apart from now he’s had an accident every 15 mins after drinking lots of water 😫 I still don’t think he’s ready it’s making me so nervous for when he’s…
