We started potty training LO August bank holiday and she always needs reminding to go the potty/toilet. It’s rare for her to tell us she needs to go for a wee but she does tell us when it’s a number 2. She’s still having lots of accidents each day and I’m this close to going back to nappies but feel like that’s no...

How do I get my just turned 3 year old to understand that he needs to tell me he needs a wee BEFORE he goes not after, other than obviously telling him. Do they just get it with perseverance? xx

I checked my LO gums and feel a slight tear and when pressing down I feel something sharp. Is this the start of an eruption? How long before the tooth erupts? Anything I can do to ease his pain and irritability if this is in fact a tooth erupting?

Hey guys. My oldest still doesn't let us know he needs a wee or a poo. He's completely dry in the night and has been for about a year (unless he's poorly). I've just ordered him a potty, I let him choose his own, and I ordered a potty training book for him and a sticker chart. I'm just wondering, those who have pott...

Ok momma’s - I am a first time mom and a single mother playing both roles in the house and want to start the potty training journey for my 21 month old boy. So I am coming to ya’ll for some pointers, recommendations, guidance, suggestions, heck even just some stories of your little ones and the experiences you had/...

I have no idea what to do It’s ruined her mattress, car seat every outfit multiple times a day...

Son is turning 3 in December, he was potty trained at 2 fully and the school he was attending did not help him and scared him to the point of full regression. We are currently on day 5 of trying to potty train and with a few successes and 3 accidents he holds it all day long. His night time pull up is went from the ...

Hello. For the past 10 days my son (5yo) has been going to the toilet constantly. Obviously he does just drops but he says he feels the need to go. I don't think it is an infection as he doesn't go at night and it doesn't hurt. I will probably call the GP tomorrow but I was just wondering if it ever happened to anyo...

Hi, looking for a bit of advice. My son (24 months) is doing really well with using the potty at home for both wees and poos! He takes himself to the potty or if he wants to go to the proper toilet, he’ll tell me and I’ll help him go there, but only if he’s not wearing any trousers/pants! But when we do put trouser...

I want to start gentle, no pressure potty training with my LO, does anyone have any tips to get started? No judgemental comments please. If you don’t agree just scroll past

Hi everyone! I've got an issue with recurrent tonsil stones, they're so painful and used to turn into tonsillitis but I manage to take them out myself now so they don't infect. The only problem is, they're SO painful. They're usually about the size of my finger nail. Does anyone know how to stop these from occuring?...

He is being potty trained and can go more that 5 times in an hour. One time he told me it hurts just because I asked. Then he never said that again.

Has anybody used a medicine dummy? If so, please can you recommend which brand? My baby constantly spits out Calpol but the teething is getting so bad at the minute I’m desperate to try anything that will ease the pain slightly!

My son has been poorly with a cold and fever over the last week, and he’s also teething. Since this he’s completely gone of food and bottles. He just has a little amount. Is this normal? I keep worrying , although I know when they are teething they do tend to go off food and bottles.

On day 3 of potty training. I guess just here to vent and say damn this is hard.

Is this what baby ache looks like?? It's looks more like some sort of bite?

Question for experienced moms. Just potty trained my son a week ago. I know their all different but just off of others experience. How long did it take your kiddos to be able to give enough notice to actually make it to a bathroom. At home hes great no accidents but when out we dont make it in time he tells me basic...

My nearly 3 year old has never been to the toilet or potty. (Not for the want of my trying). Hes very intelligent, active boy but physically refuses to go no matter how much I bribe him. It’s like he’s taunting me because he knows he should go but because I ask he’s very stubborn and refuses. He starts pre school ...

i’m getting so frustrated at home we’re dry all day, no accidents. at nursery he just wets himself all day. i’ve asked them over and over not to ask him if he needs a wee, but just to take him for one but he’s still coming home and will have had 1 wee at nursery and wet himself for the rest. it’s so frustrating c...

How to know if my 3 months old is teething ? He’s very irritable, won’t nap today and one of he’s cheek is read, I checked his mouth but I can’t tell. Gave him a teething toy and it seems to help
