Our son is fully potty trained, tells us when etc and barely any accidents so we have been very lucky, but our issue now is trying g to get him to use the big toilet, he is very stubborn! Anyone with a similar issue or had this issue?

We potty trained our daughter in May 2024. But could never crack the poo, she would always ask for a nappy. Which of course at the time we never discouraged because she wasn’t a regularly girl and was always so constipated and it hurt her less to stand than sit. But now the new year has hit and school is approaching...

Have you all started potty training? If not, when do you plan to? I just ordered a potty from Amazon and plan to start within the next few months

My daughter is 2,5 yo and she knows that she needs to use a potty but she wouldn’t! She always says no to it. Today I just took her nappies away and it’s been really hard, we went through a lot of shorts and leggings. She doesn’t like being wet but wouldn’t go on a potty! Any successful stories of potty training??

Why would I want the contents of shoes in my house? Shit, piss, spit, spunk, blood, germs, mud ect ect especially after I’ve just moped the floors. Isn’t the shoe bench enough to hint that?

So I have just started attempt 2 of potty training, and I am just putting pants on my LO instead of a nappy during the day but putting nappy back on for nap times/bedtime. However, I'm unsure what to do when he's in nursery. He goes to nursery 2 days a week on Mondays and Tuesdays and we only started potty training ...

Did you find that after you removed your LOs nappy that they were able to have longer stretches between pees? Like they're more aware of what their body is doing? We've not taken my 2 year old son's pull ups off yet but I'm worried because he can have quite short stretches between pees and I feel like it's just goi...

I’m potty training first time and it is physically and mentally exhausting and stressful. The 1st day he listened and followed through, it felt amazing almost so easy. I’m aware there could be potentially accidents during this process and there has been! This is when I feel my frustration comes in of changing bottom...

Hey ladies how did you potty train your child? Abit about My son is will be 3 in a couple months. He’s speech delayed and also in other areas ( following instructions) he has epilepsy so they think that’s the cause. Day to day, he finds it hard to follow instructions.

Does anyone have any photos of there LOs lateral top incisors breaking through? I cannot tell whether my LGs are breaking through or not and there’s plenty of photos online of the middle top and bottom but not the ones next to them. Thanks x

So my little boy is turning 3 very soon , he’s showing signs of wanting to potty train now , he’s done a few wees on the potty , how do i progress ? I feel I need to start taking him out of nappies so he just uses a potty,do you just leave him without a nappy ? I find it weird how he goes for a wee on the potty then...

Has anyone bought a potty yet just for exposure, not to actually start toilet training yet?!

Around September, when my little girl went back to nursery after summer break, she started actively showing an interest in using the toilet at nursery. She very quickly became very confident at using the toilet or potty for wees, and since then we've only had the occasional wee accident where she's been too involved...

My boy has always been a great bottle feeder but in the last week feeding has been hell. He is screaming throughout every feed and clearly uncomfortable but wants to feed, he is teething and lots of saliva. Does anyone have any tips how to help him feed more comfortably?

I cannot get my boy in to a dentist. I’ve rang every one within miles of me and no one is taking on nhs patients. Is everyone just registering baby privately??

Hey ladies. Any advice or opinions on how to get my 11 month use to the pram again. He suddenly hates it and refuses to sit in it whereas before he loved it and would sit in it without no issues. Please want advice is welcomed.

Hey, so we were a bit late to the potty training party and started around Christmas (having had a couple of previous failed attempts beforehand) this time My lg is doing really well and at home I would say she is trained. She goes off to the toilet when she needs to etc and all is fine. Going out is the issue..she s...

Hey mamas, I have a 2yr old that I’m having a hard time with potty training. She understands the potty is to use the bathroom at the same time she doesn’t want to sit and actually use it. Plenty times she’ll say “I pee pee” but doesn’t use the potty and when her diaper goes back on, boom some pee 🤦🏽‍♀️😂 Any tips…

Has anyone dealt with poop anxiety? He's definitely not constipated, but just resist popping. Please if anyone has experienced this let me know how things progressed. I really want to help him. PS it's not because of potty training, I think he thinks I'll wash his hair if he poops because I always wash his bum aft...

My twins have been toilet trained for around 5 months. I always make them go for a pee before going anywhere but sometimes they will need one an hour later depending on how much they have drank. It's put me off taking them to nice parks without toilets. Was just wondering if you let your wee ones pee behind bushes/t...
