My LO almost 3 is 70% potty trained, we’re all good with wees and being outside and informing me when she needs to go. BUT we can’t shift doing poos in her pull ups. My LO always hates pooing on her potty or adult toilet. Even if I tell her no pull ups she’ll hold in her poo and I don’t want her constipated. So I g...

My baby has a rash, no temperature but she’s super cuddly and tired all the time right now, she’s 6months and is teething. Should I be concerned ?

I am planning on potty training my son the week after his second birthday in October. Am I asking him to wipe himself or am I doing it for him? When do they start cleaning themselves if not immediately? Thanks so much!

Advice really…So my LO is showing ALL the signs and readiness to start potty training… and we’ve been delaying because everything I’m reading/looking (Inc Oh Crap method) says you need at least 4/5 days at home… how do people do it with work etc??!

My son has been at pre school for 2 weeks now and he’s been saying more and more that his nappy needs changing when he’s done a big wee or poo.

My son has some oral sensory, and keeps destroying his toothbrushes by biting them. The bristles last maybe 3 days. We have an electric, but he doesn't like it. Thoughts?

Does this look normal? It looks worse on the photo because of the shadow!

For the past two weeks my three year old has been stopping herself from pooing properly. We had cracked potty training and she was using the potty for poo but she was constipated one day and now when she has the urge will stop herself from going completely. It’s getting very frustrating. We are trying all different ...

I asked him today if there’s something worrying him and he said I’m not a grown up yet I’m still a little boy. It broke my heart, I think maybe because I’v...
