How to get the child to poop on the potty???

We have finally mastered peeing on the potty. He does it independently without reminders now. But for some reason, pooping on the potty just won't happen. This is the third day in a row that I've had to clean poop out of his pants. Any tips or advice?

Toileting Regression - Any Advice?

My August 21 girly has been potty trained now for well over a year. We welcomed our second girly at the very end of December 24. Over the past 2 months we’ve noticed a real regression in terms of our eldest having accidents. Everywhere I read suggests it’s due to our new addition but I’m not entirely convinced. I’ve...

Teething rash?

Help! Is this a teething rash? Currently dealing with allergies with my 9 month old and she’s had this dryness and redness around her mouth sort of wrinkly and I haven’t been able to figure it out and figured I’d ask here. I’ve been to 3 different doctors for skin and allergies but this is new ish

Can someone tell or show me what teething looks like?

Mine has little lumps and red gums so I'm assuming it's teeth coming through? How else do you tell theres teeth coming? As someone said my baby has 5 coming through but I can only see the 3 lumps

Is this my sign to start potty training?

Whenever I take my daughter’s nappy off to change it, she stands up & pees on the floor, she points to it & says wee wee. She also tells me when she’s having a “poo-poo”. She’s only 17 months though 🤔

Teething appetite

I feel like I know the answer to this but just need some reassurance. When LO two bottom teeth came in she didn’t lose her appetite a ridiculous amount. But she was on less solids then so maybe I didn’t notice so much. A few of her top teeth are coming in and imagine more painful. But she is right off her solids a...
