Peeing in public

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.

Potty training

I’m looking for advice regarding potty training. I’m expecting my second baby in late may and my son is 2 next week. He’s very aware of his nappy and lets me know when he wants it changed. He can say wee wee and poo and is interested when I go to the toilet. He has a potty and has sat on it a few times voluntarily. ...

Guilty

I feel so guilty because I’ve sent my girl to preschool this morning kicking and screaming because she wanted me so bad, she hasn’t has a poo since Saturday which I think is why she wanted me to badly.

Teething hack!

If your LO is teething throw some celery sticks in the freezer! Wrap the bottom in a small washcloth and give to them when they need soothing!
