Does anyone know anyone old who has major incontinence problems & how to help deal with it?

My poor mom pees her pants completely multiple times per day. She uses 2 extra thick incontinence pads & wears absorbent underwear/diaper and it still just dumps out all over her. I feel so bad for her because she’s so embarrassed to go anywhere and nothing absorbent enough for her issue. She wants to avoid a cathet...

I don’t think I’ve ever felt so stressed , my son isn’t acknowledging accidents , we put him on every half an hour and he’s done quite a few wees and poos, hardly any poo accidents but he’s not asking to go or acknowledging he needs a wee or poo or had an accident.

What’s realistic to expect on day 1 of potty training?

We’ve decided to go cold turkey with nappies in the day time as we’re at home all week and LG is showing signs of readiness. Does anyone have any experience of what the next few days might look like? Currently we’re setting a timer and sitting on the potty every 20 minutes. She’s already wet through two pairs of pa...

Potty training

Is everyone going nappy free or putting pull ups on? I hate the accidents as we have carpet everywhere except the kitchen/dining room and we can’t stay in there the whole day for a few days x

Potty training

My little girl is almost 3 but won’t tell me if she wants to wee or poo and even if she does it in the nappy she won’t tell me until I find out myself. I’ve tried telling and training her to do it on the potty but she still doesn’t want to. I’m I doing it wrong or I should wait?

Toddler asks to potty 4+ times at bed time. How do we stop this??

During that bed time routine hour, she asks to go 4 or more times. The first two she typically actually goes. And occasionally she will go a tinyyyyy bit the rest of the times but she is pushing it out to get a tiny bit. Literally the second we get back in her room and on her crib, she says she has to go again. I ...

Labial frenulum tear

My little one fell over this evening and knocked his lip, causing it to bleed heavily for 10minutes. I’ve now noticed what looks like his labial frenulum (The skin between your gum and upper lip) is flapping so basically it’s torn. Has anyone else had this? I feel so so sad for him. He seems fine but it must be so p...
