My daughter is 3 and a half years old. She is terrified of the toilet. Which is making potty training difficult. She is starting OT therapy this week. But I wanted to see if anyone else had any ideas on why. She's never fallen in, and she never had a traumatic experience on it.

Have you guys started potty training y’all’s 2 year olds?

I'm a first timer & was a bit nervous of potty training. My daughter showed no sign of readiness & no awareness of when she'd been in her nappy. Whenever we ask her to use the potty she just says no thank you. My husband had last week off work so we decided to try potty training while he was around to help. We s...

Do you use nappies still? I hear many others talking about using pull-ups, are they not for potty training?

I think we began potty training too early, so we will stop and start again in a few months. We actually stopped last week but since then she's literally been acting like she's afraid to poop. Everytime she needs to go, she will hold it till she can't anymore... Sometimes it'll take days. I feel horrible because she ...

Does anyone have any ideas what this might be? He’s had it a couple of weeks now, worth noting he’s got quite a few teeth cutting as well so not sure if related!

I need advice my 14 month old repeatedly keeps taking off his diapers and when we put pants and onesie on he still figures a way to take it off. He also just started pulling himself up on objects. When’s a good time to potty train?

Has anyone starting potting training? Can you please help I don’t know where to start or what should I do?

Ok so my girlie has been going to the potty by herself (pee and poo) in the potty for nearly over 7 months and now I feel she is going backwards. I now have to bring in the timer again bc she's forgetting to tell me that she has to go now. Yesterday I caught her going poo 💩🩲💓 in her undies and the day before that,…

So my son is 4 and he got the hang of day time potty training very quickly. Night time training well that is non existent-he struggles to sleep as it is (mild sleep apnea and potentially having surgery for tonsils etc). There are some nights he may be totally dry and then wakes up And then wees in his training pants...

She's been teething for a while now but does this look like they're about to come through?

Hey I don’t know if it normal but today I have seen my LO have one tooth already cut through but other haven’t come through but can see under gum ? I thought they both come through together?

So my daughter is 3.5 years and yet to potty train. We’ve had many false starts due to illness and bereavement. Nursery have been brilliant and have really been encouraging her to sit on the toilet where she has weed on occasions and she wears pants all day for them. So we know she can do it. Yet at home, she’s ...
