Any one else getting frustrated with potty training? it's been going on for months and still so many accidents but I feel like its too late to turn back now

How long can it go on for? 😩 we are on our 3rd week of bad sleep. I’m pretty sure it’s teething as he is fussy with his dummy at night and constantly rubbing his mouth. I can’t see any visible swollen gums and when “googling” it says teething only really affects nights for 8 nights

The past week my 13 month old has been dealing with a really bad cold and teething! We’ve never given her tv since she was born until now. Any mamas going through a similar situation and feel extreme guilt? Ms. Rachel is literally the only thing that keeps her calm otherwise I have to hold her for 24 hours out of th...

My little girls 6 and a half months showing signs of teething but still hasn’t got a tooth yet should I be concerned

My little girl is completely potty trained during the day, she still wears a pull-up overnight but this has also been dry for the past 6 nights. It seems a waste to throw away a dry nappy every morning but I’m not sure about reusing it for more than one night either. I don’t think she’s ready to not wear one just ye...

what are early signs of teething and what are the best (and safest) remedies?

Hi my son has just turned 3 he is able to use the potty during nappy free time but as soon as I put pants on him he wets himself and forgets to use or doesn’t want to use the potty. Any suggestions on how to progress to getting him to use the potty with clothes on? Thanks

So we've got toilet training down. He's dry during the day and quite happily pees on the potty or toilet without any prompt from me. He tells me when he needs the toilet when we are out and is able to hold it until I find a bathroom. I'm so proud of him because he grasped toilet training really quickly. What I am h...

Is anyone else experiencing sickness when brushing teeth? Regardless time of the day. I’ve tried several different toothpastes but still experiencing the same issue

My son is 15 months old and we’ve been brushing his teeth 1-2 times a day minimum since he got his first two teeth. We use fluoride-free toothpaste. His teeth have always been fine, but in this last month right near his gum line is gray in color. On every tooth. And he has two teeth on the bottom that have a more pr...

Hi! My little girl is 3.5 year old. Over the half term I did my best to get her on potty training then I realised she is still not clearly interested in it at all! But I don't want to force her. Is anyone is in the same situation as me? 🥱

My little one has just started walking but absolutely hates having her shoes on. Any tips please? She just gets so upset when they're on. Thanks

My little girl has been struggling with going for a poo for weeks now. She had constipation with chicken pox early September and it really hurt her to go. Since then she seems too scared to poo. We’ve had appts with the pharmacist and doctor, they recommended we give her lactulose daily which has helped, but wheneve...

If you have any methods or things I should AVOID doing pls let me know too 😅

I also have a 13 month old daughter so we’ve been slacking on potty training because I don’t want to deal with that and the other baby at the same time haha. So if you have multiples give me all your tips. And if you’ve just done it even if they are an only child please help. I’d like to potty train both kids on the...

My toddler refuses to use the potty. It was easy potty training my first... she just woke up one day and was like yeah I'm gonna start using the potty. This 2nd child is complete opposite of my 1st of course. I need some methods or something to try. I've tried just letting her run around in underwear but she keeps p...

Ok, so I'm at my wits ends here. My daughter is 4 and a half years old and has NO interest in learning how to only poop on the toilet. I feel like I've tried everything! We've tried giving her a treat when she's successful, setting a timer to make her go, sing a special potty song, give her toys to play with while s...

We started potty training on Friday. 3 accidents first day. 1 yesterday and 1 today. I think she doing really well! BUT, we have bare bum trained her, and she's a stubborn madame and won't sit on the potty when we ask her to, only when she needs to go (takes herself to the potty without saying anything). Which is al...

Hoping for some advice… my 2 and half year old has been potty trained since the summer but I still put a pull up on her at bed time. We go through a few nights where when she wakes in the morning it’s bone dry but then some mornings there are a few wee wees in there, so I don’t feel she’s quite ready to not wear one...

I know the gender but what does everybody think? 15 weeks and 4 days
