Is anyone else’s little one not potty trained at all? My girl refuses to even sit on the potty :(

My daughter is 2 years and 3 months old and I’m really trying to potty train her before my son arrives (I’m due April 17th) and I’m not sure the best way to go about it. I have a potty for her already and she has gone on it just not constantly and she won’t tell me when she needs to go. I know some people do where...

Has anyone started introducing a potty yet? My son has been bringing me diapers when he has a wet diaper or poops, and frankly I’m tired of the stinky poops lol When he was super constipated, I put him on the toilet to help him get it out, but when I tried last night when he was trying to poop he seemed a bit traum...

Where are you all on potty training? My girl has no interest at all. I want to try to get her more interested and wanting to try. I am due in July and would love to get the brunt of it out of the way before the baby comes. I also don’t want to force her if she’s not ready. She has her own potty in the bathroom and w...

Has anyone successfully potty trained an how long did it take roughly ? X

I’m unsure how to make heads or tails of this. I read that kids could hold their pee up to 12 hours but typically go every two hours at three. My child does not go over overnight. Should I be concerned or is this okay? She has a pull-up and I told her it’s OK to have a wet diaper for bedtime. She is potty trained fu...

I have another baby who is eight months old so I can’t give 100% attention all the time but I’m trying to go with just panties or commando and she recognizes that she’s wet and she’s peed but when I put her on the potty she won’t go IN the potty. I’ve tried reading books, but she’ll only sit there for a minute or tw...

Is it just my kid, or are the toddler underwear sizes at Walmart super inconsistent? We potty trained my son when he was 2/2.5 so we bought him some of the character briefs in the 2t/3t size and they fit fine. Well he's 3 now and fits in to both 3t and 4t clothes and the underwear is getting too tight so I bought hi...

1. Just put the diaper right over the erect penis. 2. Angle the erect penis down and diaper the baby. 3. Wait for a little softness before diapering.

My daughter is 2years 7 months and I think it’s time to start toilet training but I have no idea where to start. I have a potty for her and she sometimes likes to sit on it but every time I try without pants she has a meltdown. When I go to the toilet, she knows I’m going for a wee wee so she understands what a to...

my daughter keeps taking or trying to take off her diapers and having “accidents” after the fact (ex- peeing on the floor, poopin in the bath.) so i got her one of those transition potty seats that just goes on the regular toilet but she just sorta hangs out and doesn’t go but at least twice now the second i tak...

Please help. Nobody I know has been through this and I’m super anxious of the dentist anyway. I had a wisdom tooth removed and the blood clot never formed so now I have a dry socket. I’m booked in tomorrow but what do they do? The pain isn’t unbearable- I had a failed epidural and 38 hour labour that was less painf...

My twin girls haven’t really showed any signs of being ready for potty training/knowing the feeling of needing a wee or a poo but we want to give it a go anyway and have them all excited about wearing big girl knickers. Does anyone have any tips of how we do it successfully first time round?😅🤞

My daughter is gonna be 3 in May. And I’m having such trouble. She keeps putting her hand down her pull-up and if you know what I mean, I always have to clean her up because she wants to know what is in there. It makes me so mad but I don’t know how to control it. And my family wants her to start potty training, but...

I'm stumped as to how to proceed with my daughter. She is turning 2 this week. For the past couple months, she has been expressing interest in the toilet. For about a month or so, she has occasionally used it. Most days, once or twice she will say she needs to go, so I'll take her and usually she does pee when this ...

Hi I'm feeling a little undure about options when my son turns 3 in August. He's currently at a private nursery and doing well I don't feel he's ready for pre-school right now, my biggest concern is potty training he can't tell me when he needs the toilet so he's still in nappies for nursery. But he is a intelligent...

Any tips to get your little one to sit on the potty my little girl sometimes will and others she will say no I don’t need a wee and then half the time she does need a wee but she’s holding it yesterday she only had 3 wees and today she’s only had 2 but hasn’t drank that much but even when I’ve put a nappy back on he...

I’m currently 2 weeks into potty training my 3yo, and it’s going well. However I cannot seem to get my toddler to poop in the toilet. He’s able to tell me when to pee and when he feels the urge. He will do it in his training pants instead which frustrates me because we’ve come far with peeing in the toilet. Would...

We had a week where my little boy happily sat on the potty, although he never did successfully go on it. But then one day he got upset about it and has since refused to even sit on it. If I try to get him on he starts crying and clamps his legs together, hardly a calm state to be learning a new skill! So I've droppe...
