On hold with 111. Any idea what this could be? Looks too bad to be teething? On hold with 111 to see if we should be going to A&E

Does anyone have any advice for what to do if your toddler is sitting on the potty at school and he actually pees but when he gets home, he refuses to even sit on the potty and just wets himself instead. And afterward says 'diaper' to me. I feel like we are digressing at home and negating the success that daycare i...

Wondering when I should start potty training

Needing some tips on how to help my little dude get over these 3 teeth that are coming through! He already has two but they appeared out of nowhere and had absolutely no issue at all with them - but now his top teeth 3 of them are trying to break the gum at once and it’s been absolutely horrendous! At the momen...

I’ve seen a few posts about potty’s and wondered how you know when your little one’s ready ? My daughter doesn’t say any words yet but she has a good understanding of what’s going on. Also do you use the pull up pants or nappy ?

I have a 3 year old who is freshly potty trained. He goes pee on the potty just fine, picked it up within 2 weeks. But he refuses to poop on the potty unless he’s naked. If he isn’t wearing any type of underwear/pants/pull up he will poop on the potty no problem. But if he is wearing anything he will go hide in a co...

Hey, we are not potty training religiously at the moment but trying to get her comfortable with it. Today I took her nappy off around the time she normally does a number 2 and tried to encourage her to sit on the potty. She did a few times but then did the number 2 on the floor instead. Perhaps not ready for potty t...

So I could really use some advice- my son will be 4 in February and we’ve been consistently potty training since a couple months after he turned 3 years old. He does really good with peeing. We keep him naked from waist down all day and he’ll go pee fine with no accidents, but when it comes to poop, he will literall...

Feel like we've come to hault and doesn't want to use the potty she tells me when she's weed in nappy but won't use the potty no more 😕

Has anyone started potty training their babies? Our LG is 17 months and we started training yesterday, 3 poos in the potty and multiple wees, and so far, it has been the easiest thing to do!

Has anyone thought about weaning yet? LO is 6 months December 6th, but 6 months technically on the 27th of this month. I’ve had two diff HVs tell me to wait until December but also that from November is fine so just wanted to see where you guys are at! She has 2 teeth, can sit up in high chair perfectly fine and al...

Not sure if I'm seeing things, or if teeth look different coming up than I thought. But does my LG have 2 teeth coming through, or is this just how one looks coming through? Excuse her face, she wasn't impressed with me changing her nappy 🤣

Me and my little girl have down with the winter vomiting bug. She's been potty trained for over 2 weeks but I'm having to keep her in pull ups as she's just not getting to the toilet on time and my couch is needing washed my carpets you name it 😢 I feel awful and worried I'm going to set her back again with the…

am i a complete failure for not even trying to potty train yet? 🫠 we encourage it but he has no interest. I know it’ll take work but I read a lot of articles saying closer to 3 years can be easier on them and a higher success rate? maybe i’m just in denial. I work fulltime and it’s super hard to only be home weekends

My son is 4.5 months old and is teething and I don’t know what to do the only teether he likes looks like a banana and he puts it in his mouth and yanks it out which results in his gums being cut open then he doesn’t want to eat currently the past 2 days I’ve been giving him Tylenol to help twice a day I try to stre...

My daughter is 2.5 years old. She's my first. We started potty training on a whim yesterday because she asked to wear the undies I bought her for whenever we decided to start. So I brought the potty chair downstairs, and she had a "nakey bum" day yesterday 😂. She did amazing! Only 2 accidents in the morning when…

I've been seeing alot of posts lately about the amount of poos and teething. What's the correlation ? Can anyone enlighten me as I am clueless

Currently attempting with my 2 and a half year old (day 2) and it's not going well. How many accidents before you're like "okay you're not ready yet"

I have a feeling this may get intense people seem to have strong feelings around toothpaste, or fluoride rather 😅 To fluoride non spitting toddlers or not to fluoride? Dentist said, yes 😬

I'm getting so stressed, I'm only on day 2 and my son just won't go on his potty when he needs a wee he's peed on the couch 4 times, in the kitchen and in the living room plenty of times. I've had to sit him on his potty for a period of time and when he pees I've made it very dramatic and said yay clever boy etc but...
