My daughter is 4 and I am having a hard time potty training her at night. She loves drinking milk in the bed and I've cut that but she was sneaking in the bathroom and getting water from the sink, and the bathtub.

My daughter has been crying like this for hours, and I’m completely at a loss. I’ve fed her, changed her, given her toys and her binky, put on her favorite show, and even let her walk around—but nothing seems to calm her down. I’ve tried soothing her in every way I can think of. I wondered if it might be her teeth, ...

Is this normal for all dentists or should I be able to find a practice that p...

How do you know if your little one is ready? Mine has no issue with wearing a dirty nappy, she will occasionally say “done a poo” and will happily get changed if I asked her. She doesn’t hide away to poo. She won’t actually sit on her potty at all. I don’t think she is ready and tbh I’m maybe putting it off cos I do...

How long did it take to potty train your almost 3 year old?

Not sure if i should start potty training my 16 month old. I have a potty chair sitting out where hes able to get to it. Anytime hes in the middle of eatting he will get up and go sit on the potty. He only goes poop. But when hes done he will get up and come over to me. Almost like hes telling me hes done going potty.
