Looking for some advice! We’ve been potty training our 20 month old daughter for about 1.5/2 months now. In the beginning she was great but for some reason she always wees in the car seat and I’m at a loss on how to get her to stop. She’s always offered the toilet before we go out, she can even do a wee, but 15 min...

I’ve always had a weak bladder I guess. But recently it’s been worse like I’ve found I’m needing to go nearly every 20 minutes and I know it is bad but I find myself holding it in so it doesn’t affect my work. Does anyone else know how to stop this or anyone in the same boat.

Hey everyone. Parenthood has been amazing thus far but this whole potty training thing it’s just not for me. I’m having such a hard time with the pooping aspect of it.

Otherwise he won’t play, eat, sleep. He...

So on off I’ve been doing it and my 22 month old has a potty at my mums as he is there most of the day throughout the week whilst I work morning shift and afternoon shift. I have finally got round to ordering a potty for our flat. He has been butt naked most of the day and has 2 accidents. The first wee was caug...

My little guy already has a visible tooth and is struggling to settle, he's too little to successfully use teething toys as he can't grab them and bring them to his mouth. We often have to put an adults clean finger or thumb in his mouth for him to chew on, obviously this isn't ideal as we can't really do anything...

How do I know when to stop using NB diapers ? I’ve been seeing the line on her leg , but when I try putting a size one on her it seems so big. She’s a week old. Does this mean she’s not gaining weight since she’s still wearing NB diapers ?
