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...

Hello, looking for a bit of advice. A few weeks ago my LO was badly constipated but it improved after getting some medicine from the GP. However since then, she is having the most horrendous time going to the toilet, clearly holding it in and getting herself in such a state sometimes for an hour at a time because sh...

Seeing I am here alone during the day I am petrified of walking away and my daughter getting into stuff and getting hurt However, I am having a hard time with my bathroom breaks. Do you other moms take your little to the potty with you? Then its her playing with stuff in the bathroom so I end up not going and being...

So my little boy does amazing with going to the potty for a wee and poo when he has nothing on his bottoms but as soon as I put pants or jogger bottoms on he forgets about the potty. How can I encourage him to go with something on.. he has no problem in pulling them down and if he does he asks for help but I just do...

My baby is 14 weeks old and is inconsolable today, she has a rashy face, dribbling like crazy, chewing on her hand and she has a bit of a sore bum. It’s textbook symptoms but is she too young?

If you are a potty training boy mom , when did you begin teaching them to stand? I’m a single mom so I’m like when and how do I teach him this? 😂

So he just started yesterday. I also made sure I rewarded him whenever he went pee pee. I gave him stickers, snacks juice and encouragement! Now I’m trying to figure out how to get him to 💩 I had him on the pot all day and he didn’t go but when I finished giving him a bath, he decided to go 💩 in the tub. Is there…

Any Mamas potty training yet and have been seeing success? I want to start potty training my little man but feel I'm gonna have to just let him run around nakey and pray he ends up sitting on his toilet for most pees and poops. Any advice is appreciated 💕

My dogs keep peeing by the front door. One of them is pretty trained but she continues to pee overnight next to door. My other dog is 1 and we’ve sucked at training him because when we got him I had a newborn and between the both of them my house won’t stop smelling like dog pee. I clean it thoroughly too. It’s hard...

How’s your baby when teething? Mine has been crying hysterically the last couple of nights and seems in pain when I’m breastfeeding him. He’s also got red cheeks, chewing everything, drooling etc. I just want to make sure he’s pain is teeth related and not he’s stomach as he gets very gassy too.

I feel embarrassed about this but I know every one is different & does things at different times. BUT…my son is not interested in potty training. He only wants to pee in the potty when he wants, which isn’t often & I’ve tried setting a timer every 15 minutes to “try” but I can’t get him in the bathroom. I know not t...

We are moving in January (new house and new nursery), and I am due for my second child in June. Lots of changes ahead! I’m wondering when you would start potty training? I’d prefer not to be doing it in my third trimester.

Has anyone faced with teething yet ? Do your babies seem more sleepy than usually or not ?

Every post here is about teething atm! Makes me feel less alone lol

This may be a stupid question but how do you know when your little one is definitely teething?? My little girl is 5 months and slept awfully last night she kept moaning/whinging and today she has been constantly doing the same or crying way more than usual. Her gums look a tiny bit red but not massively but she woke...

How long does the teething phase last? 😫 I’ve read online it should only be up to two weeks and if longer could be something else but my LO has all the signs and I can see she’s definitely teething but it’s been nearly 3 weeks of this going on a month 🤦🏾‍♀️! Any help /advice on coping? I bought teething gel but…

My little girl is 2 (3 in january) and has been out of nappies in the day since the first week of sept. She picked it up quickly and we now get no full accidents. However i would say 7/10 times she needs the toilet she dribbles in her knickers. Its like she starts going then realises so stops and then goes to the to...

He is showing all of the signs of being ready, but he doesn’t like to have no trousers/nappy on
