I have been potty training my LO for a month straight and dont feel like im making any progress. He will sit on the toilet/potty and wee. He wont tell me if he needs to go to the toilet though. I have to take him myself. If he does have an accident he doesn’t tell me either. Ive tried using a rewards chart as motiva...

Little one has these on tongue which Just noticed so not surprising he's not eating. No other symptoms.. any clue what they could be?

I didn't think they looked like that almost looks like there coming through the top side of the gums instead of down, do you think his is teething?

My son has started to suck his thumb A LOT and especially associates it with sleeping. I have an almost 4 year old who sucked her thumb all the time and it was hell trying to get her to stop (only stopped last year as the dentist told her her teeth were crooked) I am DESPERATE to get my son to take a dummy but he w...

Just curious on what’s everyone’s schedule

After a tough first few days my LG was doing so well. She did a couple of days of asking for the potty and only one accident- I thought we had really turned a corner she was even using her carry potty out and about. Then today all of a sudden she’s just wetting herself again and not using the potty 😩 Do I give in…

What do mums do with their child who is potty trained at home/local distances in places that there’s no toilets eg a park If i was to get a travel potty to use, where do people go with privacy quickly & dispose of it? Any advice is welcome

What age/ size did you swap you're LO to pull ups? My boy is 12months old and size 5 nappy. He hates nappy changes and really fights them recently and wondering if pull ups would be a good choice now? I do worry about them leaking as you can't adjust the waist yourself, and my LO is very active. Any experience wit...

We are listening to the doctor but are getting a little concerned about what’s normal. She cut her first tooth Sunday and has had diarrhea since Wednesday. She also started a new daycare and picked up a nasty little bug (I’m already on a z-park and steroids). Trying to determine what’s normal and what’s not is provi...

Did anyone suffer with sensitive teeth / gums? I can pull away at my bottom gum away from my teeth a little and my top set have a swollen bit of gum. Causing a bit of bleeding, haven’t noticed any pain so not overly concerned but I’m petrified of the dentist….

My little boy has just turned 3 months and he is showing some serious signs of teething… is this normal🥴

Anyone started toilet training their 2 year old yet? I wonder if there’s a link between a child doing a number 2 in their nappy and getting frustrated. I know when my daughter is filling her nappy and every time she’s done, she goes mental, throws her toys around and tries to bite and hit me.

I’ve tried nappy free and he just wees and poos on my carpet. Tried sitting him 15 mins after a drink, nothing but as soon as the nappy is back on he wees. Now I’m trying the underpants under the nappy. We just started this today so not sure how this one will go. What method did you use? He’s 2 year and 4 months old

But has anyone kinda started?! My son has been holding his diaper in the front kinda like what kids do when they have to go potty. I was thinking about starting to put him on the little potty we got him…any advice?! 🙃

Hi everyone. I’m having a really hard time. I started EC potty training at 8 months old. My baby took to it naturally, it was going so well. I was already very in tune with her schedule, catching 7 pees a day, and since starting we have caught 100% of poops in the toilet. Recently she started curling up away from t...

Hi everyone I’m a first time mum. My little boy is nearly 6 months old and I know this is tmi but he won’t poop in his nappy. The last few days he hasn’t been popping. He has a bath nearly every night but the last 3 nights he’s been popping in the bath. I don’t know if this is a boy thing. Any tips on how to get him...

My 10 week old is suddenly being sick after each bottle I burp him regularly so just worried he’s still having wet nappy’s and no temperature I dunno if it’s early teething as he’s trying to bite down on the teat and his hands

What age did you start to introduce the potty to your LO?

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?
